Design. World History
99.99 €
Since the dawn of civilization, everything created by human hands can be attributed to design. A pot made thousands of years ago and fired in the Mesopotamian sun is as much a product of design as a concept car or an iPhone. And yet, design itself has a much shorter history, going back to the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. Design. A Global History provides an in-depth analysis of the major achievements, trends, and works of designers from around the world, from the advent of industrial production to the present day. The most outstanding inventions and designs are presented in chronological order. This edition places design in its technological, cultural, economic, aesthetic, and theoretical context. From the lofty moralists of the 19th century and the radical representatives of modernism, to the first masters of attention-grabbing design like Raymond Lowe in the 1930s and contemporary superstars like Philip Starck, this book penetrates to the very core of design and its ability to influence our lives.
