Design 2: Industrial Design

By Francisco Asensio Cerver

The approach to a design piece is personal, both on the part of the creator and the user. Unlike a cooking recipe which guarantees good results, there are no dogmas or parameters to guide us as to what is good and what is bad. What we can do is try to recognise the emotive aspect of the object and the capacity it has for dialogue with the materials, its use and its user.A dialogue in which all the parties implicated--designer, object and user--have the same importance and must have an active approach, as in spite of its apparent simplicity, it is fragile and easily frustrated during any part of the process if there is no interest.Perhaps these ideas may serve as an orientation with respect to the diversity of approaches to design which exist today, and of which this book attempts to present a sample.
