Riassunto

Storia del design e storia delle innovazioni tecnologiche s’intrecciano in maniera indissolubile nelle pagine di questo manuale. Tante sono le discipline qui considerate. Oltre al campo del design per l’arredo – che spesso esemplifica in maniera eccellente le più ampie linee di ricerca progettuali – è stato preso in esame un largo ventaglio di settori: da quello degli oggetti tecnici alla grafica e alla moda, dal car design a quello sociale, includendo il più delle volte riflessioni sulla ricaduta che il progetto ha sulla storia del costume nelle sue applicazioni alla vita reale.

Su questo libro

Dalla quarta di copertina

This book, dedicated to the history of design from the mid-nineteenth century to the present, is committed to drawing guidelines for the development of this discipline, offering a synthetic vision of the subject and, at the same time, highlighting elements for future investigations. If it’s true that the history of artefacts and objects has always accompanied that of man, punctuated by turns occurring with the acquisition of technological innovations, it is in the mid-nineteenth century that we can retrace historically the professional figure of the designer, thus marking the birth of modern and contemporary design. The subject is branched and composite, embracing many disciplines: in addition to the field of furniture - which often exemplifies the broadest lines of design research in an excellent way - other sectors are considered here, from technical objects to graphics, from fashion to car design. A particular attention is reserved to the influence of the art world, with all its array of thought references that has constantly permeated the birth of design projects. Along with the synchronic story following the thread of time, is presented a diachronic approach in which - through in-depth boxes - the story of a single type, a material or a concept detaches from its era to create relationships with similar phenomena of other periods. The volume is complete with a large iconographic kit, images with long captions elaborating on each story and offering a possibility of independent reading.
