Billions of products virtually die before their time has come. This book maps out ways in which they can be designed and planned in such a way that their value can be sustained to keep them in use for a longer time. 'Time in Design' is about one of those ideal future products. It tells the story of Vivian, a name representing any product. The life of Vivian is retraced back from the preconception through the times of development, purchase and era of use, right until oblivion. With text contributions by Brian Eno and John Thackara, and designed by Thonik.

By Pantucci (Norwalk, CT USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Eternally Yours: Time in Design (Paperback)
This book is not authored by Brian Eno. The book is two books, one on the left side of pages, and one on the right. (!) No matter how good the content, if I had known it was of such an absurd nature I would not have purchased it. Impossible to read really, and I like novel ideas. The content of the book is definitely interesting, concerning exactly what the title suggests. It explores how the passing of time plays a roll in how design is perceived. It is incredibly long winded, and though I love to read, this one just went on and on. Again, Not Eno. Read "A Year - with swollen appendices", that's pure Eno.
