"The Language of Things reads like a good conversation with someone who has a deep understanding of his subject matter. . . . A provocative and effective way of looking at our world through the lens of objects." --John Dunningan, Dean of Architecture and Design, Rhode Island School of Design

"A deeply original and necessary book." --Alain de Botton

"An indispensable guide to what makes a city a city." --Evening Standard

"Witty commentary on rampant consumerism enabled by design innovation. . . . Especially appealing to marketers and design connoisseurs, this is easily digestible for the average consumers interested in knowingly purchasing quality design for the senses--if they can still afford it in today's economy." --Publishers Weekly on The Language of Things

The director of the Design Museum defines the greatest artefact of all time: the city

We live in a world that is now predominantly urban. So how do we define the city as it evolves in the twenty-first century? Drawing examples from across the globe, Deyan Sudjic decodes the underlying forces that shape our cities, such as resources and land, to the ideas that shape conscious elements of design, whether of buildings or of space. Erudite and entertaining, he considers the differences between capital cities and the rest to understand why it is that we often feel more comfortable in our identities as Londoners, Muscovites, or Mumbaikars than in our national identities.
