This innovative volume brings together international design
scholars to address the history and present-day status of national
and international design organizations, working across design
disciplines and located in countries including Argentina, Turkey,
Estonia, Switzerland, Italy, China and the USA. In the second half
of the 20th century, many non-governmental organizations were
created to address urgent cultural, economic and welfare issues.
Design organizations set out to create an international consensus
for the future direction of design. This included enhancing
communication between professionals, educators and practitioners,
raising standards for design, and creating communities of designers
across linguistic, national and political borders. Shared needs and
agendas were identified and categories of design constantly defined
and re-defined, often with overt cultural and political intents.
Drawing on an impressive range of original research, archival
sources and oral testimony, this volume questions the aims and
achievements of national and international design organizations in
light of their subsequent histories and their global remits. The
Cold War period is central to the book, while many chapters draw on
post-colonial perspectives to interpret how transnational networks
and negotiations took place at events and congresses, and through
publication.
