Abstract

Everyday Engineering was written to help future engineers understand what they are going to be doing in their everyday working lives, so that they can do their work more effectively and with a broader social vision. It will also give sociologists deeper insights into the sociotechnical world of engineering. The book consists of ethnographic studies in which the authors, all trained in both engineering and sociology, go into the field as participant-observers. The sites and types of engineering explored include mechanical design in manufacturing industries, instrument design, software debugging, environmental management within companies, and the implementation of a system for separating household waste.The book is organized in three parts. The first part introduces the complexity of technical practices. The second part enters the social and cultural worlds of designers to grasp their practices and motivations. The third part examines the role of writing practices and graphical representation. The epilogue uses the case studies to raise a series of questions about how objects can be taken into account in sociological analyses of human organizations.

Abstract

Van halssierraad tot Ik ben Ben, van de metaaldraadlamp tot de blotebillenjurk, van de Mediaeval tot de bewegwijzering op Schiphol, van Hotel American tot het damesurinoir : in de twintigste eeuw zijn Nederlandse ontwerpers er steeds opnieuw in geslaagd op de meest uiteenlopende gebieden mooie en spannende, eigenzinnige en aansprekende objecten te bedenken. Vele hiervan zijn zowel beelden van hun tijd als op zich staande iconen geworden. Nederlandse ontwerpers hebben ervoor gezorgd dat Dutch design over de hele wereld een begrip is geworden.Hoog tijd dus, dat er een goed overzicht komt van het beste dat de Nederlandse ontwerpers in de twintigste eeuw hebben gemaakt. Van Hendrik Berlage tot MVRDV, van Jan van Krimpen tot Anthon Beeke, van Jan Eissenloeffel tot Hella Jongerius, van Max Heymans tot Viktor en Rolf. Het boek bevat 350 heldere beschrijvingen over onder meer sieraden, mode, huisraad, meubilair, interieurs, architectuur, producten, typografie en visuele communicatie.
