DESIGNLINE: BRIEF HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE D

The Designline is a 4.5 metre long design history, which can either be used as a booklet, or unfolded as a large poster. It shows the history of the design with examples from important epochs and exemplary forms -- be it in the shape of a pencil sharpener designed by Raymond Loewy as an example for the streamlined form or the ground plan of Daniel Libeskind's Jewish Museum in Berlin, representative of deconstructionism. Numerous photos and information on historical developments, outstanding works and designers from each epoch accompany the design history, making the designline important both as an example and in terms of product language. The designline is interdisciplinary and synoptic, covering industrial and graphic design and architecture. The documented period begins with the industrial revolution.Hausmann, Sara is the author of 'DESIGNLINE: BRIEF HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE D', published 2008 under ISBN 9783899860993 and ISBN 3899860993.
