Reframing Human Endeavors
This ambitious text is a monograph about human experiences concerning the potentialities, capacities, and features of humankind from the wholeness of the collective mind body spirit. The purpose in reframing human endeavors is for enhanced alignment for livability and sustainability. This book departs from the concept and practice of “design and technology” and argues that most crises that endanger and destruct our ecological livability and sustainability come from our way of thinking and doing with “design and technology” based on the necessity for control. It is the control for overcoming the fear of scarcity, starvation, and the unknown. This book is rather an attempt to find alternate way of decision-making thru holistic methods. It appeals to researchers working in design, sustainability, architecture and urban studies.

Die Praxis des Designs
Design ist sozio-materielle Konstruktionsarbeit. Diskursiv, visuell und materiell zerlegt das Design zunächst unsere alltäglichen Objektwelten und arrangiert so eine spezifische Unsicherheit. Unsicherheiten bilden den Ausgangspunkt für neue Kombinationen bekannter Sinn- und Wirkungszusammenhänge im Design. Valentin Janda zeichnet mit seiner ethnografischen Untersuchung detailliert die Arbeit in einem Designlabor nach und entwickelt dabei – auf der Grundlage des Pragmatismus – einen soziologischen Begriff des Designs. Kultur- und techniksoziologische Debatten rund um Kreativität und Innovation bekommen mit dieser Untersuchung eine empirisch und theoretisch fundierte Erörterung der praktischen Herstellung von »Neuheit« zur Seite gestellt, die über Argumente der Labor- und Studiostudien hinausweist.
