An introduction to design and culture in the twentieth century

This book sets out to explore the parameters of a new subject - the cultural history of twentieth-century design - in terms both of its related areas and its essential subject-matter. It also aims to introduce students of design and of design history, as well as anybody who has an interest in the environment, to examples of the kind of material that needs to be researched and documented if a composite picture of design in this century is to emerge.
