INNOVATION AND DESIGN,
2006
This issue of Temes de Disseny, in line with its programme to
cover themes of remarkable interest within the area of design and culture as
thoroughly as possible, is dedicated to disseminating what today may be said
about design as an instrument aimed at developing and implementing creativity,

DESCRIBE MATERIALS. MATERIALS WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE DESIGN PROCESS,
2002
Humans have always
designed things, objects, and they have created technology for their own
well-being. The wish to design has certainly always existed, and it is also
true that whereas in times gone by the processes of design and manufacture were
united, at present they are separated somewhat.
There

CREATIVITY, COMMUNICATION AND MARKET,
2000
In our contemporary developed
societies, creativity has become a central concept. This is a fact which is
symptomatic of the cultural environment in which our lives develop.
The 20th century has meant a
generalisation of the application of the concept of 'creativity'. During the
Middle Ages, creativity

DESIGN, COMMUNICATION, CULTURE,
1997
The 14th Temes de Disseny, as the reader can
see, a miscellany. In it, we bring together themes which directly refer to
matters clearly springing from the complex universe of design, along with
others which we would place in the wider context of thought and culture; there
are also those which correspond to a

ECODESIGN: A NEW CULTURE OF DESIGN,
1995
Two years ago, the Elisava school, in keeping with its
pedagogic commitment as a centre of education for future projectionists and as
a space for discussion and debate, and within its Research Institute, decided
to place itself at the forefront of the growing ecologic conscience. From the

DESIGN, TOOL FOR THE FUTURE,
1993
With this special number, Temes de Disseny aims
to bring to the second Primavera del Disseny (the design fair held
in the spring in Barcelona) a few reflections on the role that design, as an
integrating element in the cultural phenomenon, plays and might play in
thefuture.
In this

Design Research,
2008
Issue 25 of the magazine ELISAVA TdD focuses on the topic of design research through a series of articles which present different but complementary points of view across different areas of activity. Whether focussing on generating new creative processes that look in depth at techniques to help understand users

ECONOMY AND DESIGN,
2006
As
noted by Robin Roy 1 in Can the benefits of Good Design be
quantified? (1994), many managers need to be convinced by quantitative data
of the benefits of focusing more on design as a strategic element and of
improving management guidelines before deciding to invest effectively in
design.

DESIGN'S PRESENT CHALLENGES. DESIGN AND VISUAL LANGUAGE,
2002
Number 19 of Design Issues which the reader has in
their hands is miscellaneous. Evidently, that means to say that the articles
found in it do not refer to one single issue. However, in this case it does not
mean to say that points of reference can not be seen, nor even that a kind of
shared spirit of the

16
2000
The number in the
reader's hands is a miscellany, which means, of course, that it contains
articles on several themes. However, these articles can be grouped together in
three different areas: the first deals with television as a communications
medium, as well as the visual codes it uses; the second is made up

THE CULTURE OF DESIGN, STEO BY STEP. THE ELISAVA SCHOOL IS 35 YEARS OLD,
1996
In 1996 we
celebrate the 35th anniversary of foundation of the Elisava school, initially
created as a school of art and design within the CIC Cultural Institution. More
than three decades mean a considerable trajectory for an institution dedicated
to design pedagogy because of the youth of this discipline

NATURE, DESIGN AND INNOVATION,
1994
On very few occasions
has a publication taken on the themes that this monographic number discusses:
nature, design, and innovation, it is equally unusual to gather authors
influential in their respective fields to reflect on the proposed title. But
perhaps the greatest specialty and richness of this number

DESIGN IN THE OLYMPIC GAMES. A HERITAGE FOR BARCELONA,
1992
«Where there is no style and norm there is barbarism.»
J. V. Foix
Temes de Disseny dedicates the present
number to the Barcelona Olympic Games. Obviously, it is mainly centered around
the subject of design, architecture and urbanism, but it also refers to the

CRITICAL DESIGN,
2007
In 1986, in the first issue of ELISAVA Temes de Disseny, then called Temes de Disseny, in an article about social criticism of projects, Jordi Berrio proposed that a critical culture in this discipline was a discrediting culture. An attitude that necessarily involved a work of denunciation, due to which design

MEMORY, COMMUNICATION, ECONOMY AND DESSIGN,
2004
Along the route from industrial
civilisation to information civilisation, new design paths have been created
which must be taken into account. One of them comes from the process of dematerialisation
to which objects are subjected.
Consumer objects tend to
be increasingly valued more as signs of social

KNOWLEDGE REPRESENTATION ON THE INTERNET,
2001
At a time in
which the impact of new technologies, within the framework of the society of
information and knowledge, evince an unquestionable need for the generation and
production of various types of digital discourses for the net, it is inevitable
to wonder how best to transmit information, from the

PRODUCT, CONSUMPTION, COMMUNICATION: THE NEW SALES POINT,
1998
We can assert that the
act of consumption has achieved omnipresence, to the point that it defines our
contemporary society. From the impact of the Industrial Revolution to the
development of mass communication media and new commercial spaces, a new
situation is progressively being created which will bring

DESIGN, COMMUNICATION, CULTURE,
1995
The volume we present is made up of a group of
articles which can be said to revolve around three themes: the use of image,
esthetic memory in design, and the methodology of projection. These three
themes have been widely discussed since the beginning of theoretical reflection
on design, but have not lost

09
DESIGN, COMMUNICATION, CULTURE,
1993
After a series of
monographic volumes, we feel the need to present a miscellaneous
edition once more. The plurality of the world of design advises
gathering in the wide range of contributions emanating from the several
fields which make up the universe of the culture of de sign.
However, monographic

PEDAGOGY OF DESIGN,
1991
It is exactly thirty
years since the Elisava School of Design in Barcelona began its work as pioneer of
design teaching in Spain.
It has trodden a broad path of
constantly renewed teaching, to which Temes de Disseny aspires
to correspond with the present monograph on the Teaching of Design and so
