Dear Jacqui,
just to inform you:
Birkhäuser publishers are preparing an
international design dictionary in English and
German, edited by Michael Erlhoff, Cologne
International School of Design and Timothy
Marshall, Parsons School of Design. The project
consists of more than 300 terms that are
"defined" by texts of different length.
Best,
Jonas
