From the dust jacket: "In this compilation of 19 essays, written during the 1960's and 1970's, George Nelson brings his practical experience as industrial designer and architect and his critical skills as editor, writer, teacher, and lecturer to bear on the major issues confronting designers. Whether his subject is Tents, The Future of the Object, Topless Trinities, Scenarios for the Post-Modern City, The End of Architecture, or Design and Human Needs, George Nelson makes a habit of provoking controversy with his analysis." "George Nelson (1908-1986) was an American industrial designer. While lead designer for the Herman Miller furniture company, Nelson and his design studio, George Nelson Associates, designed 20th-century modernist furniture. He is considered a founder of American modernist design." Condition: Good used condition, coming from a smoke-free, pet-free environment.
