The goal of the course is to help students understand the historical development of industrial design and critically assess the impact of social, cultural, and economic contexts on design. By gaining awareness of the evolution of design ideas throughout history, students will be able to approach contemporary design practices with a deeper perspective.
1. Define the main stages and historical development of industrial design within their social and cultural contexts.
2. Analyze and compare different production processes, material uses, and design approaches across historical periods.
3. Evaluate the social and cultural impacts of design and production processes prior to the Industrial Revolution.
4. Conduct a critical discussion within a historical context on course topics using written and visual materials.
