Design is

Like the magazine, "Metropolis", that spawned it, this volume celebrates design in all its guises. This anthology of articles presents an ongoing conversation about design and design culture. Over 70 contributors - including Paul Goldberger, Luc Sante, Philippe Starck, Phillip Lopate, Julius Shulman, Michael Sorkin and Paola Antonelli -reveal how design has permeated all aspects of our lives and how it will continue to shape the places we live and work and the objects we buy and use in the future.
