Book Feature: Glimmer by Warren Berger



Glimmer's content embodies the new way of design. Featuring the insights of designer Bruce Mau (Born in Sudbury Ontario), this piece of non-fiction is full inspiring stories of individuals who have effectively put their faith and focus in a successful design idea.

When discussing the relationship between the designer and an idea, Berger writes:
"...design is really a way of looking at the world with an eye toward changing it. To do that, a designer must be able to see not just what is, but what might be. And seeing is only the beginning. Designers are also makers. They sketch and build, giving form to ideas. They take that faint glimmer of possibility and make it visible and real to others." Pg.3

This is an excellent read for anyone interested in the world of design, or as Mau might prefer it: "the design of the world".
