Do you agree or disagree with the position that design is a result of “function x economy”? Do you think design today an ‘art’ or a ‘science’? Should it be one or the other, or can it be both?
Hannes Meyer argued that design is a product of “function x economy” aligning design with a specific model driven by technologies and manufacturing potential.
I agree some of idea about Meyer. Let us think about past, the design need to function x economy to help them. These based on the that fact, so something to be consider design. It might be serve a employer or owner but it just means of technology. László Moholy-Nagy stated that“Before the machine, everyone is equal…There is no tradition intechnology, no consciousness of classor standing. Everybody can be themachine’s slave or master.”As time goes by, design has been every parts of our lifestyle. Just we did not notice it.
I think art and science can be both used into design. Because from the side of art, can show people more savour taste about their life. But by the economic times it also changes human behavior. So we need to create some good idea help our busy life become more and more efficiently and comfortable. ‘The new art has brought forward what the new consciousness of time contains: a balance between the universal and the individual.’(p.167)
