This is the first anthology to address Design History as an
established discipline, a field of study which is developing a
contextualised understanding of the role of design and designed
objects within social and cultural history. Extracts range from the
18th Century, when design and manufacture separated, to the present
day. Drawn from scholarly and polemical books, research articles,
exhibition catalogues, and magazines, the extracts are placed in
themed sections, with each section separately introduced and each
concluded with an annotated guide to further reading. Covering both
primary texts (such as the writings of designers and design
reformers) and secondary texts (in the form of key works of design
history), the reader provides an essential resource for
understanding the history of design, the development of the
discipline, and contemporary issues in design history and practice.
