            <description><![CDATA[Design Integrations, edited by ID professor Keiichi Sato and former faculty member Sharon Poggenpohl, was published by Intellect, UK in September. The book's six chapters are authored by many ID community members, including three current faculty members (Tom MacTavish, Judith Gregory, and Sato), Poggenpohl, alumnus Toby Bottorf (MDes '94), and adjunct faculty member Aaron Marcus. 
<br><br>
The book has two sections, "Design Research" and "Design Collaboration," with a total of 13 chapters contributed by authors with diverse backgrounds. It addresses an innovative rethinking on design research, education, and practice. The international contributors urge new methods that focus on interdisciplinary collaboration between the academic and business worlds and an understanding of new dimensions of design and research opportunities. Design Integrations will be of interest to advanced students, practitioners, researchers, and educators.

            <title>New faculty for 2008-2009</title>
            <link>http://www.id.iit.edu/143/</link>
            <description><![CDATA[ID welcomes three new full-time faculty for the 2008-2009 academic year:
<br><br>
<a href=http://www.id.iit.edu/866/>Tom MacTavish</a>, Visiting Associate Professor, was for the past nine years director of Motorola Labs’ Center for Human Interaction Research. He previoiusly led the Human Interface Technology Center based in Atlanta (GA) for NCR Corporation, and served as Director of Engineering for NCR’s Wireless Communications and Networking engineering group. His interests span the range of activities in Human-Computer Interaction research and development, including strategy formulation, user and technology research, concept development, and product implementation. His courses this fall will include Interface Design, Interactive Media and a workshop related to these topics.
<br><br>
<a href=http://www.id.iit.edu/865/>Anijo Mathew</a>, Assistant Professor, has a B.Arch. from Birla Institute of Technology in India, and an MDesS from Harvard University Graduate School of Design. He is currently working on a PhD at the Open University in UK exploring the intersection of computing and design. his research interests include interactive (computer mediated) spaces, immersive/responsive environments, environmental behavior, and HCI in the design process. His classes this fall will include a workshop about interactive environments and a B session seminar about related content.   His research looks at various methods and design mechanisms for the process of design; and the­ semantic appropriation of architecture (place) as enabled by new technologies.
<br><br>
<a href=http://www.id.iit.edu/809/>Martin Thaler</a>, Visiting Associate Professor, holds an MFA from the Royal College of Art, London, and a BFA from Rhode Island School of Design. For the past 12 years he has led multidisciplinary teams at the IDEO Chicago office for companies in the consumer electronics, medical, and furniture industries. He has been a regular member of the ID part-time faculty for many years, co-teaching the product design Research & Demo course. In addition, this fall he will teach an advanced product design workshop, and co-teach the product design Foundation course.
<br><br>
At the same time, ID bids a fond farewell to full-time faculty members Greg Prygrocki and Chris Conley. Professor Prygrocki will ease into retirement while continuing work on the <a href=http://www.id.iit.edu/536/>Thinkering Spaces</a> initiative with the MacArthur Foundation; Professor Conley, on sabbatical for the 2008-09 year, will continue to teach on a part-time basis while working on a book about innovation and expanding his work with companies and foundations.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Charles Bezerra (PhD '00) has published a book, <em>The Humble Designer: Logic and Ethics for Innovation</em> in Brazil. It covers many aspects of design: multidisciplinary perspectives, problem identification, methodology and sustainability. The book also reflects about need for "intellectual modesty" and the role of critical debate in design processes. Influenced by the ethical philosopher Karl Popper, it points to the need for designers to act in the world as agents for reducing misery and violence and increasing freedom and education.

            <link>https://payment.iit.edu/item.php?item=377</link>
            <description><![CDATA[In 355 liberally illustrated pages,  this book collects materials on methods for design and planning under development at the Institute of Design for several decades, including examples from projects in product and systems design and design for services in both private and public sectors.
<br><br>
Structured Planning is a "kit of tools" covering phases of advanced planning from the earliest project definition activity to the evaluation of concepts. Six phases are covered in the book: Project Definition, Action Analysis, Structuring, Synthesis, Communication and Evaluation. Forms used in capturing issues, insights and ideas are covered in detail with examples from a variety of projects. Theory and algorithms for three computer programs used with Structuring (RELATN and VTCON) and Evaluation (SYSEVAL) are given, along with examples showing how the algorithms work. The book is used as the text  for the course "Systems and Systematic Design" taught in the Institute of Design’s masters and doctoral design and planning programs.
