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.
