Mit Design is Invisible verwies Lucius Burckhardt als einer der ersten auf die Integrierbarkeit unsichtbarer Wirkkräfte: Sie bestimmen den Gebrauch der Gegenstände und sollten Bestandteil der Gestaltung sein. Was nützt etwa die schönste Straßenbahn, wenn sie in der Nacht nicht fährt? Burckhardt erweitert kurzerhand den Designbegriff, in diesem Fall um den Fahrplan, der ebenfalls optimiert werden kann. Wie aktuell die zwischen 1965 und 1999 entstandenen Texte sind, kann man an der derzeitigen Architekturdebatte sehen. Probleme durch soziale Abgrenzung, ausgedünnte Regionen sowie Migrationsbewegungen können nur interdisziplinär gelöst werden. Die erstmals in englischer Sprache vorliegenden Texte öffnen dem internationalen Diskurs endlich den Zugang zu zentralen Quellentexten.

With Design is Invisible, Lucius Burckhardt was one of the first to point out that factors that are invisible can be integrated – they determine the use of objects and should be part of the design. What is the use of the most attractive tramway if it does not operate at night? Burckhardt expands on the meaning of design, in this case by including the timetable, which can also be optimized. The relevance of these articles dating from between 1965 and 1999 can be appreciated today in the current debate on architecture. Problems arising from social polarization, rural depopulation, and migration can only be resolved on an interdisciplinary basis. The articles, for the first time available in English, finally allow access to key source texts for the purpose of international debate.
