ABSTRACT

While the cases in this volume may be read sequentially or selectively based on individual interest, this chapter also offers four lenses through which to explore the cases: relationships between technology and designs; relationships between designs and their users; a critical view of designing; and how designs come to life, how they die, and how they are reincarnated. Reading across the cases is encouraged as a means to deepen the vicarious experiences of designs no longer available to be experienced directly.
