This course examines the social and cultural impact of design from the 18
th
century to today and will provide students
with an understanding of the history of design, its development as a discipline and continuous evolution today as well as
contemporary issues impacting its practice for the future. The course will examine the critical historical movements,
relevant cause-and--effect as context and resulting impact on society and culture, starting from the Industrial Revolution,
Arts & Craft, Modernism, Post-Modernism to the Information Age.
Students will learn to:
- understand design not only as a creative activity but, more importantly, in the context of its role on culture and
society from the past to today and into the future
- develop critical thinking skills to assess what makes design impactful;
- identify the cause-and-effect or the relationship between movement/events and action - and to ask not only ‘what’
but ‘why’ and ‘how’
- identify similarities in influence and impact from the past that underlie design today and tomorrow
- work and collaborate as a team
- and, finally, present a concise abstract or precis on a particular topic
