Karl Gerstner's 'Designing Programmes' is a pioneering work in the history of design, offering a comprehensive insight into his design methodology and a blueprint for design during the early stages of the digital age. With a focus on computational design, this book remains relevant and captivating, presenting a multitude of examples from various fields including graphic design, product design, music, architecture, and art. Originally published in 1964, the new version released in 2007 by Lars Müller Publishers remains faithful to the original edition, brilliantly designed by the master himself.
