一本视觉指南,讲述了关于我们购买、拥有、使用、观看和互动的物品从坦克到iphone为何以及如何产生的迷人历史事实和哲学思考。我们都生活在一个物品的世界里,但我们很少停下来思考它们是如何以及为什么会存在,为什么它们看起来和感觉起来是这样的,或者是什么塑造了我们的偏好,以及为什么我们拥有和使用我们所拥有的物品。在《我们创造的东西》中,著名概念设计师、漫画家和雕塑家Axel Brechensbauer拉开了帷幕,为人类文明对完美人造物体的无尽追求提供了视觉指南。
A visual guide to fascinating historical facts and philosophical musings on why and how the objects we buy, own, use, see and interact with — from tanks to iPhones — come into existence. We all live in a world of objects, yet we rarely stop to think about how and why they came to exist, why they look and feel the way they do, or what shapes our preferences and why we own and use the ones we do. In Things We Create, renowned concept designer, cartoonist, and sculptor Axel Brechensbauer pulls back the curtain and provides a visual guide to civilization's endless quest for the perfect human-made object.
