Victor Papanek's 'Design For The Real World' should be there too .. a book that had a great influence in making the current generation of industrial designers more responsible. Published in the 1970's but still very relevant today!
ReplyDeleteI would add "The Designer's Atlas of Sustainability" by Ann Thorpe, published 2007.
