This course introduces students to the study of design history in its cultural context. It will provide an interdisciplinary appraisal of design history and offer an exploration of the supporting social and cultural infrastructure of design. The course will encourage an analysis of design and thereby help to create an understanding of past, present, and future design progression. Students will be encouraged to use Design History as a means of understanding current cultural design contexts and as a means of understanding the global implications of contemporary design production.
