description

design history is inhomogeneous and multi-perspective.

design stories are collections of avant-gardes.

Innovations from the most diverse disciplines, whether ideological, aesthetic, political, material science, process engineering, ... characterize our image of design in their relationship to one another. the development of design can therefore also be understood as an interdisciplinary research process.

in dealing with design-historical phenomena, new horizons are opened for the understanding of design in some of these facets. the variety of strategies from the historical pool also offers a broad basis of opportunities for action for today.

The value for design didactics lies in the questioning of historical approaches to design for contemporaryness and future suitability.

design reveals itself in use.

a holistic understanding of design products is only possible in direct contact with them. especially in design didactics, this comprehensive understanding is the prerequisite for teaching activities at all. products with different levels of reputation - from anonymous everyday design to design classics - can be grasped and used as originals in the lv. in the 3 block events, products from different product sectors and epochs become the content of a complex examination, whereby these are researched, discussed and used as an impulse for design-related communication approaches.

examples of theoretical and practical design communication expand the didactic repertoire.
