A book about the biography of projects and objects. Where projects serve as book ends to a detailed account of objects with the homes of the not so rich. By silencing the designer, the book allows accounts of objects to emerge as periodic irruptions that serve as evidence of a hidden maelstrom of passion, ideas and failed projects. 61 b&w illus.
A study of objects and domestic spaces of middle-class India.
Drawing on the methods of design history, material culture studies, and the social construction of technology, this book analyzes the domestic spaces and objects in the homes of the middle class in India, describing how people make meaning of the objects they buy, own, and gift.
Soumitri Varadarajan argues against a simplistic universal account of the way we think about how objects are designed. Instead, he presents a biography of projects and objects, offering a detailed and affectionate account of the lives of objects within the homes of the not-so-rich.
