Glimmer how design can transform your life, and maybe even the world

"What can be learned from great designers? How can design improve our lives? In Glimmer, Warren Berger, in collaboration with the internationally celebrated Canadian designer Bruce Mau, revolutionizes our uderstanding of design by showing that this multi-faceted practice is about much more than style. Everything is ripe for reinvention - including how businesses function, children learn, and communities thrive. In this hopeful yet practical book, Berger tallies and explores the deceptively simple principles that steer design's vanguard - 'ask stupid questions,' 'begin anywhere' and 'embrace constraints' - and illustrates how these and other such principles provide the means for transforming a glimmer of possibility into the glow of creation and innovation."--P. 4 of cover.

  • "For a new generation of designers, such as Bruce Mau and Yves Behar, the answer is, Ỳes, it can.' To them, design is more than just a question of fashion or taste; it's a way of asking fundamental questions in order to solve complex problems. In Glimmer, award-winning journalist Warren Berger shows how these visionary thinkers are taking design principles out of the studio and applying them to the tough issues of today, from making medicines safer to counteracting the threats of global warming. By approaching seemingly intractable problems with thought-processes that often seem counter-intuitive - àsk stupid questions', èmbrace constraint' - designers are creating g̀limmer moments' the point when a life-changing idea crystallises in the mind - and coming up with breathtakingly innovative solutions, from a wheelchair that can climb stairs to a $150 laptop for the developing world, from a revolutionary anti-smoking campaign to a bank without queues and a company that gives shoes away for free yet makes money."
