The Dynamics of Modern Asian Design, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Blurb

"Focusing on the late 20th century onward, this book brings to light the ways in which design as a material form has underscored cultural, social and economic changes across Asia. Authors provide a deeper and more enhanced understanding of material culture in Asia through analysis of ceramics, electronic items, fashion, furniture, interior design, architecture, magazines and ornaments from across countries such as China, Hong Kong, India, Japan and South Korea. They explore the production of objects as agents in modern material life, moving beyond their roles as commodities and addressing their values in a range of contexts and subjectivities"-- Provided by publisher.
