ePub Overlooking the Visual: Demystifying the Art of Design by Kathryn Moore in Arts-Photography

Description

Making tangible connections between theory and practice; ideas and form; this book encourages debate about the artistic; conceptual; and cultural significance of the way things look. What are the metaphysical concepts at the heart of design education; theory; and philosophy? Why do we assume that design is impossible to teach?This book challenges the traditional foundations of perception and takes an imaginative; radical approach; setting itself apart from the traditions of analytical philosophy; evolutionary psychology; and phenomenology which underpin much of current design theory and discourse. The new definition of perception produces startling consequences for conceptions of language; intelligence; meaning; the senses; emotions and subjectivity. This is an innovative; fresh view on design and how we can improve it for both practitioners and students in the architecture and design fields as well as philosophers.
