I was up in Sheboygan, WI and stopped at this art center where I got this book. It's just another example of what the Bauhaus established; the unity of craft, painting, and sculpture. All these arts considered to be forms of "building" therefore can be translated into architecture and design. The book has contemporary artists and designers, my favorites are the Campana Brothers and Marcel Wanders, and discusses the relationship between technology and art. The idea that all "art" is designed and constructed (whether built out of new or reused objects) is a good way to look at transdisciplinary design.
