Design Consumption Culture
Design is history. And what do you know about it? Whatever has happened, whatever has there been and why? How
did people live, what did they dream of and finally, how
did everything look, before you were born? This means,
between the modern avantgarde of the 20th century and
the fall of World Trade Center in the 21st. – and beyond
that. What have been the technological, intellectual, poli-
tical and economical drivers of consumption? What myths,
brands and people have influenced the market? These
questions will be addressed through an intensive, compact,
multidimensional course, structured in many blocks that
can be appreciated at anyone convenience.
DKK5 Rock & Radikal: The cultural revolution
This block of the course focuses the cultural emancipation
of western society from established thinking and living
patterns during the 1960s and presents the resulting
social conflict as the motor of new forms of esthetic and consumption.
