Makeshift: Some Reflections on Japanese Design Sensibility
10.1002/ad.107.abs
By constructing a series of prologues on preconditions of making across cultural and industrial traditions, Sarah Chaplin describes the embedded condition of uncertainty that lies within the very human act of making. ‘Makeshift’ recognises the impermanent and the imperfect, the ritualistic and the indeterminate. From a question of meaning, this text argues that in Japanese culture at least, ‘things are never fully designed, but are always in a state of being designed’.
