description: What do the work processes of a neurosurgeon and a painter have in common? Applying the notions of Design, Gestaltung, and Formatività , this book sheds new light on processes of formation and transformation in the material world we live in. Scholarsfrom the fields of history, philosophy, psychology, media, and culturalstudies question established processes of giving form, while artists,designers, engineers, and scientists describe their creative processes.This book provides its readers with an overview of the spectrum of"philosophies of making" and invites them to refl ect on their owncreative process, its possibilities and associated responsibilities tothe environment, and ultimately to express these in action. There hasnever been a more urgent need to develop a new relationship betweenmatter and form.
