Course Description

This course surveys the history of design in Europe and North America from the very first prehistoric tools to the modern day products and structures. Significantly, from the mid eighteenth century onwards, these regions were swept by a series of economic, political and social revolutions that dramatically transformed the structure of society, resulting in the increasing importance of design. Covering a wide range of fields, including art, architecture, interior, industrial and graphic design, we will examine works of design as outcomes of the larger cultural, economic and political forces.
