The Senses: Design Beyond Vision

Edited by Cooper Hewitt curators Ellen Lupton and Andrea Lipps, this volume accompanies a major exhibition exploring how contemporary designers engage human experience beyond the visual. The book moves through thematic essays on topics ranging from design for the table to tactile graphics, sound, and data visualization, arguing for a more inclusive approach to sensory interaction. It includes manifestos and guidelines from leading thinkers, serving as a call to action for practitioners in products, interiors, graphics, interaction, and animation. The text is structured to be accessible to students and professionals, offering a framework for integrating touch, sound, and smell into design practice.
