Catalog Description:
Interactively and enthusiastically explore topics in the history of
Industrial Design primarily from 1750 to 1945.
Collaboration between art and industry, mass production, changing
patterns of consumption, advances in material processes, and the
social and/or technological impact of Industrial Design on
transportation, healthcare, consumer goods, domestic space, and
the workplace.
We will also look at historical antecedents to Industrial Design prior
to 1750
We will explore the tension between commerce and art that has
seemingly always existed in the field of Industrial Design.
What We Really Want To Do:
Learn about where we, as Industrial Designers, came from.
Look at and discuss A LOT of cool pictures.
Read some interesting articles and period pieces to give us an idea
of the environments the practice of Industrial Design evolved in.
Have fun.
Do no harm.
Find an aspect of Industrial Design that speaks to you and will
continue to fire your imagination for creativity and innovation for
the duration of your careers.
Major Course Objectives/Learning Outcomes:
Chronological survey of the history of Industrial Design from the mid-Eighteenth to the mid-
Twentieth centuries, with some topics from outside this narrow window thrown in for good
measure.
Lecture format
We will discuss major design styles and movements, significant designers, manufacturers,
design-related companies, and innovations in technology and material use.
Students: explore different definitions of Industrial Design and identify historical
antecedents that may have arisen before 1750, as well as more modern, contemporary, and
future definitions of the profession.
Let’s construct a historical and contextual foundation upon which all contemporary
industrial design is based.
“Those who cannot remember the bad industrial designs of the past are condemned to
repeat them.” Not George Santayana
