Something in the world tears away, jumps out, approaches ... A world that approaches is a world that is alive and vivid. This applies not only to the existing natural world, but also to what humans create, which, in form the form of artifacts – from the hand-held ax to linguistic theory – also approaches design in terms of both object and challenge.
The authors of this volume attempt to track the movements of thought between form and form process, image and image file, representation and presence in terms of both theory and practice.

Etwas in der Welt reißt sich los, springt hervor, kommt entgegen… Die Welt, die da entgegenkommt, ist eine lebendige. Dies gilt nicht nur für die vorgefundene natürliche Welt, sondern auch für die Hervorbringungen des Menschen, die ihm in Form seiner Artefakte - vom Faustkeil bis zur Sprachtheorie - ebenso objekthaft wie zur Gestaltung herausfordernd entgegenkommen. Die Autoren dieses Bandes versuchen in theoretischer wie in konkret anschaulicher Auseinandersetzung den Denkbewegungen zwischen Form und Formprozess, Bild und Bildakt, Repräsentation und Präsenz auf die Spur zu kommen.
