** Book Release **

Design culture is being transformed by collaborative practices and hybrid media forms which allow for instant feedback from user to provider, user to user and practice to practice.

In our book ‘Limited Language: Rewriting Design: Responding to a feedback culture‘ we explore how these processes inform writing on design and how we engage with digital technology as a creative catalyst. Readers can become writers, articles provide starting points for new ideas and the immersive capabilities of the Web are used to provide a platform for design thinking.

Rewriting design in this way corrupts the boundaries between practices and so themes are explored across design, architecture, art and sonic cultures. The book  – like this site – is aimed at practitioners, critics, historians and students alike, as all of these have contributed to the Limited Language project over the years.

“This is a rare book about design that embraces ideas with as much enthusiasm as objects. It illustrates its premise by showing feedback culture in action. If you find yourself wanting to join in the dialogue with thoughts of your own – and you will – their website is ready and waiting.” – “Rick Poynor”

I’ve been reading the essays and it is an intricate collection of texts beautifully designed.

Congratulations on a very elegant printed response to online activity. I admire your decision to publish digested versions of discussions, rather than simply reproducing comment streams.
