Digital Design : New Frontiers for the Object

The era of digitalisation is bringing about radical changes.

We are surrounded by objects which are causing our relationship with the world around us to become increasingly intangible and virtual.

Even the work of the designer is changing: coupled with the traditional principles of aesthetics and practicality, concepts such as communication, multimedia, virtuality are now important tools of the trade.

Today's designers are confronted with a variety of complex demands and the computer offers an extremely flexible and creative way of meeting them.

This book examines the many developments and changes which the digital age has effected in the field of design.
