Description
The Making and Shaping of Design: Between Craft and Automation
This course locates design in the field of tension between technological progress and constraints, and examines the impact of technology on the making of modern design. While the industry has striven to develop ever-more powerful tools to advance automation and obtain efficiency, craft has persisted to be a vital aspect of the field and a source of critical positions and resistance. This lecture series visits some of the key moments in design history from the Arts and Crafts Movement to the Bauhaus workshop, from the Maker Movement to the emphasis on the hand-made in Dutch design, and from the post-war functionalist design for mass-production to the automation of design process through artificial intelligence, demonstrating the strong link between designers’ engagement with the prevailing technologies and their vision of reform, beauty, and social change.
