A critical overview of contemporary design and its place within the
broader context of art history A Companion to Contemporary Design
since 1945 introduces readers to a collection of specially
commissioned essays exploring the complex areas of design that
emerged through the latter half of the twentieth century, design
history, design methods, design studies and more recently, design
thinking. The book delivers a thoughtful overview of all design
disciplines and also strives to stimulate inter-disciplinary debate
and examine unconsidered convergences among design applications in
different fields. By offering a new perspective on design, the
articles assembled here present a challenging account of the
boundaries between design history and its cognate disciplines,
especially art history. The volume comprises five sections--Time,
Place, Space, Objects and Audiences--that discuss environments for
design and how we interact with designed objects and spaces.
Notable features include: 24 new essays reflecting the current
state of design history and theory, and examining developments on a
global basis Contributions by eminent scholars and practitioners
from around the globe Enriched throughout with illustrations A
Companion to Contemporary Design since 1945 provides a new and
thought-provoking revision of our conception and understanding of
contemporary design that will be essential reading for students at
both undergraduate and graduate levels as well as researchers and
teachers working in design history, theory and practice, and in
related fields.
