- catalog abstract ""Krieger revisits ideas from his now infamous article published some thirty years ago in Science magazine. At the same time, Krieger offers an analysis of the tensions within which design operates - between perfection and contingency, between wholes and parts, between the talk we make about the world and the world itself. He is asking us to explore how designed works affect us, and why we feel so strongly about them." "Krieger takes design - in architecture, landscape, interiors, engineering, and systems and computer science - to be modeled by traditional theological and artistic problems. And here, he claims, design has traditionally been a redesign of nature. For nature is for us - as Durkheim would describe it - a totem."--Jacket.".
