Title: Nieuw engagement
Description: NAi Publishers has noted an increasing level of discussion in architecture and urban planning, in the visual arts, photography and design about social issues. Architects, artists and designers are on a quest for legitimacy for their work and for socially relevant activities. Professional journals are calling for reflection and reconsideration of how one carries out one's craft. In other words, a debate is clearly underway about a new form of engagement by the design and visual disciplines toward the current problems of society. As a contribution to this debate, this book offers a collection of articles by leading authors who hold this 'new commitment' up to the light.
Subjects: Aesthetics, Architecture, Art, Design
