Abstract

designer who must act. At the book’s beginning, Maldonado warns the reader that the text is fragmented and erratic. But his analysis of design’s relationship to large-scale systems, ecology, social structure, politics, and technology does important work to show the centrality of design for the environment. While sustainable designers today are familiar with the visionary work of Victor Papanek, whose widely celebrated Design for the Real World: Human Ecology and Social Change appeared a year after Design, Nature, and Revolution, Maldonado’s book has been largely overlooked. This reprint seeks to rectify this by showing us how we still have a lot to learn and much to remember about design’s role beyond the stylization of individual objects. Maldonado is both a skeptic and a realist. He sees the complex relationships of systems, understands man’s proclivity for concrete manifestation, and envisions hope in the form of design and planning. Maldonado’s book remains a rallying cry to defuse environmental apocalypse by leading with design and planning for what is, he says, “a future devoid so of future” (75).

媒介设计:了解如何在世界上工作
设计师必须行动。在书的开头,马尔多纳多警告读者,文本是支离破碎和飘忽不定的。但他对设计与大规模系统、生态、社会结构、政治和技术的关系的分析,对展示设计对环境的中心地位起到了重要作用。虽然今天的可持续发展设计师熟悉维克托·帕帕内克富有远见的作品,他在《设计、自然与革命》一年后出版了广受赞誉的《现实世界设计:人类生态与社会变革》,但马尔多纳多的书在很大程度上被忽视了。这本再版试图纠正这一点,它向我们展示了除了单个物体的风格化之外,我们还有很多东西需要学习和记住。马尔多纳多既是一个怀疑论者,也是一个现实主义者。他看到了系统的复杂关系,理解了人类对具体表现的偏好,并以设计和规划的形式设想了希望。马尔多纳多的书仍然是化解环境灾难的号召,他说,这本书的设计和规划是“一个没有未来的未来”(75)。
