Dear Snehal
This is with reference to our conversation yesterday about Prof Charles
Brunette's bibliography.
I attach here the Bibliography provided by Prof Charles Brunette on his
Academia.edu web page. This is a fairly comprehensive list of all his
papers as well as those that he claims have influenced him personally as
well as widely helped in the shaping of Design Theory as well as Design
Thinking and Design Methods from early beginnings at the turn of the last
century.
I have a few other authors in my own list who have influenced us at NID and
in India since we have had access to these authors during our student days
at NID as well as durung the period of our own explorations into design
education since the early 70's. The journals from the HfG Ulm were a potent
force for us and all these volumes were available in the NID library and
now these are available online from my blog Design for India for download.
The Ulm theorists include Tomas Maldonado, Gui Bonsieppe and a whole host
of other teachers there.
I would include here Bucky Fuller and Frei Otto who are not listed in
Chuck's list. Further, Stafford Beer, Gregory Bateson and Piere Teilhard de
Chardin who influenced us to explore systems thinking are not on his list
too. There are others such as M K Gandhi and J Krishnamurthy who shaped our
idelogical perspectives in design thought and action and some of these I
have expanded on in my paper of 2009 for the Istanbul conference titled
"Hand-Head-Heart: Ethics of Design" which also includes the development of
semiotics as an influence in design thinking through the work of Klaus
Krippendorf and Liz Sanders etc. Take a look at both and we can discuss
these in the light of some that we both may have missed from an
architectural perspective.
The most updated list should include The Design Way (2nd edition) by Harold
Neslson and Eric Stolterman from the MIT Press, The Semantic Turn by Klaus
Krippendorf and 101 Design Methods by Vijay Kumar. In the mid 70's and
early 80's we had access to several books from the Open University, UK that
were authored by Nigel Cross and Robin Roy. NID Library has an very good
collection of books from the Design Council, UK as well.
KD may kindly give Kiritbhai a copy of both these papers.
with warm regards
