Almost a history of design, complete with AEG, Bauhaus, the Eames brothers and more. Pdf here at DMI.
During most of the twentieth century, corporations and cultural institutions asked designers to play a focused and limited role in product and service development. Today, that role is expanding and the core of the field, design thinking, must expand with it. Design thinking has a rich history, and it is important to trace how it evolved to help understand why design is now so valued.
"The word, design, has been abused, misconstrued, and overused. I am not sure the there is even consensus about a true definition among insiders; supposedly those people in-the-know. I am sure that I cannot give an all-encompassing, perfect elevator pitch either. So, if there is no accord on the designation of design, then how do we describe and defend the notion of Design Thinking?"
