Raddar n°1
functions

Raddar is an annual design review. It provides a space for both young and experienced researchers to research subjects relevant to design theory. Juxtaposing bilingual versions of the texts, Raddar serves as a bridge between French and English-language research. It is intended for people interested in objects, spaces, graphic design, visual forms and their depictions, as well as their circulation, history, technical evolution, meanings and different materialities. The aim is to examine how design pervades all areas of human activity, from means of transport to telecommunication channels, from high to popular culture, from everyday gestures to philosophical reflections and social projects, and how, in shaping the world, design is in turn shaped by it. This first issue of Raddar, published in 2019, was devoted to design functions. The perforated cover was designed in collaboration with Formafantasma.
