Design History
本课程系统梳理设计从工业革命至今的发展历程，探讨设计风格演变背后的社会、经济、技术与文化动因。课程内容涵盖工艺美术运动、新艺术运动、装饰艺术、包豪斯、现代主义、国际主义、后现代主义、数字时代设计等重要历史时期与流派，深入分析各时期的代表人物、经典作品和设计思想。通过案例研读和讨论，学生将建立完整的设计史知识框架，理解设计与时代的互动关系，培养历史视野和批判性思维，为当代设计实践提供理论参照和思想资源。
This course systematically traces the development of design from the Industrial Revolution to the present, exploring the social, economic, technological, and cultural drivers behind the evolution of design styles. The curriculum covers important historical periods and movements including the Arts and Crafts Movement, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, Bauhaus, Modernism, International Style, Postmodernism, and digital-era design, with in-depth analysis of representative figures, classic works, and design philosophies of each period. Through case studies and discussions, students build a complete design history knowledge framework, understand the interactive relationship between design and its era, and develop historical perspective and critical thinking, providing theoretical reference and intellectual resources for contemporary design practice.
学生需选择一个设计风格或历史流派进行深入研究，撰写约5000字的学术论文，分析该风格产生的历史背景、核心特征、代表人物与作品、历史影响与当代价值。在此基础上，选取一个当代设计对象（如产品包装、手机应用界面、海报等），用所研究的历史风格进行再设计实践，创造出融合历史元素与当代需求的设计作品。需提交研究论文和再设计作品，论文需有规范的注释和参考文献，设计作品需附设计说明阐述历史风格的转译策略。
Students select a design style or historical movement for in-depth research and write an academic paper of approximately 5,000 words analyzing the historical background, core characteristics, representative figures and works, historical influence, and contemporary value of the style. Building on this research, students select a contemporary design object—such as product packaging, a mobile app interface, or a poster—and redesign it using the studied historical style, creating a design work that integrates historical elements with contemporary needs. Both the research paper and the redesign work are submitted; the paper requires proper annotations and references, and the design work is accompanied by a design statement explaining the translation strategy of the historical style.
