In this paraphrase of Dante's \u003ci\u003eDivine Comedy\u003c\/i\u003e, Otto von Busch, a pitiful design professor, searches for the design workshop at Parsons. Proving inaccessible, the lost professor falls into despair. However, a recently fired workshop technician, Virgil, appears to know the way. They descend the crumbling corridors of design's collapse, through the ruins and anguish of broken promises, failed research, self-absorbed design theorists and hypocritical designers, to the very nadir of design's inferno. With augmented illustrations of Dor�'s famous engravings and allusions to insider knowledge woven throughout the rhyming verse, this ambitious and ultra-creative project will provide levity for even the most tortured designer. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOtto von Busch\u003c\/b\u003e is a designer and Professor of Integrated Design at Parsons School of Design in New York.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Set Margins' Publications","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46288601415831,"sku":"9789083499369","price":1197.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789083499369.webp?v=1769301444","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-design-comedy-the-descent-through-inferno-9789083499369","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
