Cultures for Design Education

Keywords: Design, Education, Pedagogy, History

Abstract

During the phase of their establishment, design schools of the twentieth century have kept history as a discipline out of their educational programs. It emerged again on their cultural agenda only in the Eighties. Now that design has become not only a discipline but also a culture, design history is back to reclaim its role.
