The Industrial Design Reader
Edited by Carma Gorman
This groundbreaking anthology is the first to focus exclusively on the history of industrial design. With essays written by some of the greatest designers, visionaries, policy makers, theorists, critics, and historians of the past two centuries, The Industrial Design Reader traces the history of industrial design, industrialization, and mass production in the United States and throughout the world.
Spanning from the 1850s to the present, The Industrial Design Reader includes everything from William Morris’s writings about the Arts and Crafts movement to Nixon’s and Khrushchev’s “Kitchen Debate”; from Marinetti’s Futurism manifesto to Toyota’s “just-in-time” production strategies. This valuable resource provides educators, students, and practitioners of industrial design with a unique and multifaceted reading experience.
Includes essays and speeches by Henry Ford Sigmund Freud, Le Corbusier, Frank Lloyd Wright, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Frederick Winslow Taylor, Walter Gropius, R. Buckminster Fuller, Henry Dreyfuss, Ralph Nader, Karl Marx, John Ruskin and many other protagonists of industrial design. The Industrial Design Reader is co-published by Allworth Press and the Design Management Institute. . |

Reviews
“Design is one of the most powerful fields of study of our time. This anthology not only makes it immediately accessible to a vast audience, but also displays it in all its glory and humanity. It gives design an even better name.”
—Paola Antonelli, Curator of Design, Museum of Modern Art
“Professor Gorman has assembled a valuable anthology that brings to life the history of industrial design. It will be an essential text in design history courses and an important supplementary text for studio courses in industrial design. She has helped to give coherence to the unfolding story of industrial design in modern culture.”
—Richard Buchanan, Ph.D., Professor of Design, Carnegie Mellon University.”
