This meaning is these things not inherent, but it\u2019s ascribed in social processes. I consider Ethnography as a constructive method to decode things in daily life. Ethnography in this sense, is not a representation of daily life, but it is a construction itself; descriptions are &#8220;tales of the field&#8221; (John van Maanen).<\/p>\n<p><strong>My motivation to take part in the International Design School 2013<\/strong><br \/>\nAs Design has a cultural dimension and at the same time the potential to change and diffuse cultures, it is very inspiring to work in intercultural teams: as we will do in ISDD with lecturers and students from China, India and Switzerland. I am sure, we will learn about the others \u2013 and also about ourselves.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My Favourite Design Item<\/strong><br \/>\nBooks contain a lot of information; we must separate the important from the not important. It\u2019s a binary code. This pencil visualizes this separation. As an &#8220;old school&#8221; print book reader this pencil is existential for me.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.zhdk.ch\/idss\/files\/2013\/06\/Bildschirmfoto-2013-06-15-um-13.16.34.png\" rel=\"lightbox[443]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1203\" alt=\"Bildschirmfoto 2013-06-15 um 13.16.34\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.zhdk.ch\/idss\/files\/2013\/06\/Bildschirmfoto-2013-06-15-um-13.16.34-300x102.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"102\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.zhdk.ch\/idss\/files\/2013\/06\/Bildschirmfoto-2013-06-15-um-13.16.34-300x102.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.zhdk.ch\/idss\/files\/2013\/06\/Bildschirmfoto-2013-06-15-um-13.16.34-210x72.png 210w, https:\/\/blog.zhdk.ch\/idss\/files\/2013\/06\/Bildschirmfoto-2013-06-15-um-13.16.34.png 440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"post-excerpt\">\u00a0Zurich University of the Arts | Master of Arts in Design | Lecturer for Design Research, Ethnography and Sociological Theories&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1659,"featured_media":1157,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[74177,259252,76128],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-443","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-faculty","category-z-round-table","category-zhdk-partner"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.zhdk.ch\/idss\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/443","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.zhdk.ch\/idss\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.zhdk.ch\/idss\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.zhdk.ch\/idss\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1659"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.zhdk.ch\/idss\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=443"}],"version-history":[{"count":48,"href":"https:\/\/blog.zhdk.ch\/idss\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/443\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1015,"href":"https:\/\/blog.zhdk.ch\/idss\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/443\/revisions\/1015"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.zhdk.ch\/idss\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1157"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.zhdk.ch\/idss\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=443"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.zhdk.ch\/idss\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=443"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.zhdk.ch\/idss\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=443"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
