Multidisciplinary field that combines aesthetics, functionality, and problem-solving to create products, systems, and structures that meet the needs of individuals and society.

Is the study of the principles, practices, and processes of design. It aims to understand the ways in which designers create artifacts, systems, and environments that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

It encompasses a broad range of fields, including product design, graphic design, architecture, urban design, and more. It also draws on various disciplines such as art, psychology, sociology, engineering, and philosophy.

Is the process of creating solutions to problems, usually with a specific purpose or goal in mind.

is focused on self-expression, aesthetics, and creative exploration.

A book where it is stated that design is a process rooted in the tool making ability developed by the present-day homo sapiens.

‘Making Design Theory’ was written by _____.

is a means of making sure the machine creates attractive commodities that work better because they are designed to work better. It is coincidental, but equally important, that they sell better.

The traditional interaction model in the case of design has been that: the designers serves as a mediator between the needs of the end-user and the constraints and restrictions of the client.

meaning giving certain objects a certain designation or specific function or role

It transformed the economy from agriculture to industry.

Processes became mechanized from the first time

The First Industrial Revolution was largely exclusive to _____.

Was driven by the discovery of coal and its gathering, as well as the development of steam engines and metal forging

Also known as the Technological Revolution

Revolved around the discovery of electricity, gas, and oil, leading to the invention of the combustion engine

Steel and chemically based products led to industry adopting synthetic materials such as plastics for production

When was the fully automatic operation of mechanized units was first achieved

What was invented during the Second Industrial Revolution

The means to mechanically reproduce an object changed the cultural understandings of object, craft, and design.

the unique encounter between the viewer and the original artwork, enabled by the touch of the artist’s hand. Mechanical reproduction secularises the object, according to Benjamin

a passive actor in the design process: the receiver of goods, during this time, the manufacturer’s main concern was his competitors

are the owners of the means of production who answer a material need of a specific market

the most important object in the traditional interaction model as the crucial interpretative process

It defines the professional relationship between client and designer

The brief is also called _____.

a culture shared worldwide based on Western ideals on consumption and attitudes towards the physical environment

An iterative design process in which designers focus on the users and their needs in each phase of the design process

the process of creating products that are accessible to people with a wide range of abilities, disabilities, and other characteristics

the process of designing in which the needs of people with disabilities are specifically considered.

Style that exhibited highly intricate and ornate designs.

This press made mass production of chromolithographs possible

Conveyed the idealist society in the United States of America where industrial progress is at its epicenter.

who utilized Victorian style designs in his company’s chromolithography process.

became widely used as a medium of communication and propaganda during World War I

placed importance on empiricism and rationalism

art/design gains more investment in times of economic prosperity, leading to large art scenes and more elaborate works

(a political and economic powerhouse) is considered to be a key figure in the flourishing of art during the Renaissance.

design is aligned with societal values by considering the core principles and ethics of a community

art/design/ideas were either allowed/censored depending on the government’s values

reflected traditional constructivist values which considered the artist as an engineer, and art as part of a greater visual program meant to awaken the masses

Who developed the Bessemer Process

These technologies facilitated the development of modern communication networks, leading to the creation of typographic codes, symbols, and visual representations used in telegrams and later in advertising.

who implemented the assembly line in automobile manufacturing revolutionized industrial production

It allowed for the creation of precise digital models, enabling designers to iterate quickly, explore complex geometries, and visualize their ideas more effectively.

Revolutionized the field of product design

a design researcher and professor at Umeå Institute of Design, has explored the factors that influence design ideas, concepts, and processes from a theoretical perspective.

there is emphasis in the importance of materiality in design. Theory influences design by exploring and understanding the properties, affordances, and characteristics of materials. By considering the specific qualities of materials, designers can create innovative solutions that leverage the inherent possibilities and limitations of different materials.

design is not solely a cognitive activity but also a physical and material one. Designers engage in iterative prototyping, experimenting, and making to explore and develop ideas.

Designers acquire knowledge through hands-on engagement with materials and artifacts. This _____, gained through making and prototyping, allows designers to explore and understand the possibilities and limitations of their designs.

Design is seen as a form of knowledge production, where designers actively engage in creating artifacts that embody and communicate their research findings. Design becomes a means to generate new knowledge and insights, rather than merely applying existing knowledge.
