Эти три замечательные книги о связях между дизайном, биологией и геометрией.
Наконец я нашел две книги, где дизайн рассматривается в его взаимоотношениях с культурой и обществом.

Selle, Gert. Ideologic und Utopie des Design: zur Gesellschaftlichen Theorie der Industriellen Formgebung. Cologne: DuMont, 1975.
