Product Description
Review
"Mankind's most successful 'program' is the triumph of the unnatural over the natural, the grid over the organic." - from Massive Change"
Product Description
Massive Change is a modern illustrated primer on the new inventions, technologies, and events that are affecting the human race worldwide. The book is a part of a broader research project by Bruce Mau Design intended to provoke debate and discussion about the "familiar objects and techniques that are transforming our lives." In essays, interviews, and provocative imagery aimed at a broad audience, Massive Change explores the changing force of design in the contemporary world, and in doing so expands the definition of design to include the built environment, transportation technologies, revolutionary materials, energy and information systems, and living organisms. The book is divided into 11 heavily illustrated sections covering major areas of change in contemporary society - such as urbanism and architecture, the military, health and living, and wealth and politics. Each section intersperses intriguing documentary images with a general introductory essay, extended captions, and interviews with leading thinkers, including engineers, designers, philosophers, scientists, architects, artists, and writers.

Disappointing,
This review is from: Massive Change: A Manifesto for the Future Global Design Culture (Hardcover)
This book, while somewhat provocative, is not up-to the high standards expected of Bruce Mau. It's not a bad book, and it's not uninformative, but it is disappointing.

Brand new!,

This review is from: Massive Change: A Manifesto for the Future Global Design Culture (Hardcover)
The book was in perfect conditions. I bought it on the used section but still, it was like new.
I received it in 3 weeks, which was perfectly normal. I have nothing else to say other than I bought a brand new book.

Great read!,
By Bhavs (London UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Massive Change: A Manifesto for the Future Global Design Culture (Hardcover)
An insightful book which is easy to read. Great photographic illustrations are interspersed with inspiring essays provided by some of the key members of the Institute Without Boundaries. In 2011, the ideas of this book are just as relevant as ever. The hard back and page content was worth the relatively low price.
Eagerly looking forward to a future edition!
