An Introduction to Design and Culture : 1900 to the Present by Penny Sparke read ebook PDF, EPUB
9780415686198 English 0415686199 An Introduction to Design and Culture provides students with a comprehensive guide to the changing relationship between design and culture from 1900 to the present day, with an emphasis on five main themes: design and consumption; design and technology; the design profession; design theory; and design and identities. Design is defined broadly to cover product and furniture design, interior design, fashion design and graphic design. The new edition is international in scope and emphasises the increasingly global role played by design as it gets nearer to the present day. Taking a broadly chronological approach, Professor Sparke employs historical methods to show how these themes were, all implicated by design's progress through the twentieth century and into the twenty-first century. Illustrations throughout the text demonstrate the breadth of design and its multiple contexts, and design examples - such as those of the Sony Walkman, contemporary design in China and James Dyson - are used to elaborate key ideas. Book jacket., Now in a completely new and updated edition, this introduction to the development of modern (and postmodern) design is ideal for undergraduate students. Divided into four parts, the book covers the major periods in design culture since the start of the twentieth century, beginning by examining the formative years 1900-1914. Two sections on design and modernity explore the periods 1915-1939 and 1939-1969, and a completely new section, design and postmodernity, covers 1970 to the present. New to this edition are: key discussions on postmodernism and design the alliance between technology and design the relationship between identity and design. Drawing on a wealth of mass-produced artifacts, images and environments including sewing machines, cars, televisions, clothes, electronic and branded goods and exhibitions, Sparke shows how design has helped to shape and reflect our social and cultural development., This third edition of An Introduction to Design and Culture has been revised and updated throughout to include issues of globalization, sustainability and digital/interactive design. New for this edition is a chapter which covers key changes in design culture. Design culture has changed dramatically in the 21st century, the designer-hero is now much less in evidence and design has become much more interdisciplinary. Drawing on a wealth of mass-produced artefacts, images and environments including sewing machines, cars, televisions, clothes, electronic and branded goods and exhibitions, author Penny Sparke shows how design has helped to shape and reflect our social and cultural development. This introduction to the development of modern (and postmodern) design is ideal for undergraduate students.
