Reviews
Like a trap door to a room we didn't know existed, Design Noir opened up a space for a critical design practice that was wholly unexplored in its time. Today, that space seems not only obvious and essential, but inevitable. The impact of Design Noir has been inestimable. And the aftershocks from this unassuming but masterful book are still reverberating decades later. * Jamer Hunt, Vice Provost for Transdisciplinary Initiatives at The New School, USA and Associate Professor of Transdisciplinary Design, Parsons, USA *
Only now that speculation through design has come into its own can we see the full legacy of this mischievous and engaging book. Its welcome reappearance shows it remains both a crucial study in material critique and a lesson in how to document the thoughts of your participants. * Ann Light, Professor of Design and Creative Technology at the University of Sussex and Professor of Interaction Design, Social Change and Sustainability at Malmo University, Sweden *
