Dear Colleagues,
In order to help our design students develop their critical
thinking, I am proposing that the library host a reading club. Because the
reading skills of the students covers a pretty broad spectrum, I am trying to
identify some books on some aspect of design that would be both entertaining
and thought-provoking. Nothing too heady.
Authors like Witold Rybczynski would fit the bill. Also,
evidently anything with “monkeys” in the title (these are in our
collection: Chip Kidd, The cheese monkeys: a novel in two semesters and Warren
Berger, Cad monkeys, dinosaur babies and T-shaped people)!
Do any of you have suggestions or favorites I might
consider? Thanks as always.
