Shaping Understanding – A Glossary
Design shapes how knowledge is understood and communicated. Through engagement with significant bodies of knowledge, it becomes clear that the book remains a central medium of mediation. In this context, design has always structured content and shaped its value. Without it, what becomes legible – shifts. The glossary makes these relationships accessible, where terms are read, compared, and explored through references. Drawn from a diverse library spanning different genres and contexts, they broaden how these terms can be understood. It reveals a practice that often remains in the background: book design.
