Description:From the cover:"This fascinating biographical narrative describes how Fred Ward, pioneer Australian furniture designer, tried to show from the 1930s onwards how good design was the missing factor in industry, commerce, the bureaucracy, education and the diplomatic corps. He believed that apathy, ignorance, misunderstanding, and possibly our geography, eventually undermined design’s potential benefits to everyone. There are lessons for the future in this story as he clearly explains how a man with vision proved through a lifetime of example that science and art can enhance our lives through the useful art of furniture."About the author, Derek F. Wrigley:"The author, Fred’s colleague and friend, Derek Wrigley, architect and industrial designer joined Fred in the Design Unit at the Australian National University in 1957 and inherited his role in 1961 to build up a unique unit practicing integrated design embracing site planning, architecture, furniture and interior design, landscape and graphic design.Invited to design some of the furniture and coordinate the internal sculptural coats of arms for the High Court of Australia in 1977 he launched into private practice; initiated a voluntary group Technical Aid to the Disabled ACT; then engaged in retrofitted solar research to overcome the lack of sunlight in southern domestic rooms.In his spare time from 1948 to 1991 he designed and built five experimental solar houses for himself in Sydney and Canberra and is currently awaiting the completion of a prototype EcoSolar house in Canberra which embodies most of what he has learned.He has authored three books on solar domestic architecture since 2000 and developed a very successful solar reflector system to heat and psychologically uplift southern domestic rooms."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
