A journey through books that shape us
The Morning Standard
|July 15, 2025
IN a world obsessed with outcomes, design invites us to reimagine the process.
It nudges us to ask not just what something does, but what it means. Design isn't merely about making things pretty or functional. It's about making them human.
As someone trained as an engineer but shaped by books, I've come to see design not as a discipline, but as a way of being. And the books that have guided me on this path are not manuals, but mirrors. And they reflect who we are, and who we might become.
At the heart of this journey is Ge Wang's Artful Design: Technology in Search of the Sublime. Unlike any other book on design — part manifesto, part comic book, part philosophical meditation — Wang, a computer music professor and creator of the Chuck programming language, poses a profound question: What kind of world are we designing, and why?
