About This Item
Thames and Hudson, publishers, London 1986 large softcover, 6½" x 9¾" Small Erratum slip mounted in Index. Book in VERY GOOD condition In this radical and highly original examination of design and its place in society, Adrian Forty challenges premises that have usually passed unquestioned. He argues that societies use design to express their values. Design is shaped by economic and social conditions; it can be manipulated to overcome resistance to innovations that seem threatening. Here he looks at the appearance of man-made goods in the two hundred years since the introduction of mechanized production. 272 illustration - from penknives to railway carriages.
