"Introduction to Modern Design is a visual survey of design from the middle of the
eighteenth century to today, encompassing some 300 colour illustrations of representative
objects and supporting images from Josiah Wedgwood's Pegasus Vase to Google's self-driving
car. It zeroes in on the birth of modern design in the early nineteenth century and
chronicles the way its definition has changed over the decades since then. The text
is supported by twenty readings from significant texts by designers and critics, offering
students an opportunity to learn about design from those who created and commented
on it and to gain firsthand experience with primary sources. While the focus is on
the objects themselves--industrial design, furniture, textiles, graphics, electronics,
and automobiles in the larger view of architecture and interiors--students will also
learn about the impact of design in relation to industrialization, technology, environmental
responsibility, diversity, consumerism, individual needs and the expression of social
values. Clearly written and free of jargon, Introduction to Modern Design provides
a succinct history of, and fascinating insights into, the world of design"
