This book is ideal for students, designers, and professionals in arts and culture who seek to deepen their understanding of inclusive design practices. It is especially valuable for those interested in the social implications of design and fostering equity through their work.

Diversity and Design explores how design - whether of products, buildings, landscapes, cities, media, or systems - affects diverse members of society. Fifteen case studies in television, marketing, product design, architecture, film, video games, and more, illustrate the profound, though often hidden, consequences design decisions and processes have on the total human experience.

Description

Diversity and Design explores how design—whether of products, buildings, landscapes, cities, media, or systems—affects diverse members of society. Fifteen case studies in television, marketing, product design, architecture, film, video games, and more illustrate the profound, though often hidden, consequences design decisions and processes have on the total human experience.

The book not only investigates how gender, race, class, age, disability, and other factors influence the ways designers think, but also emphasizes the importance of understanding increasingly diverse cultures and, thus, averting design that leads to discrimination, isolation, and segregation.

With over 140 full-colour illustrations, chapter summaries, discussion questions, and exercises, Diversity and Design is a valuable tool to help you understand the importance of designing for all.
