World History of Design Volume 1 Summary

World History of Design Volume 1 by Victor Margolin (University of Illinois at Chicago, USA)

This is the first volume of the World History of Design, the definitive historical account of global design by pre-eminent design scholar Victor Margolin. The first volume explores the earliest cave art and human tools, including the key examples of the visual and material culture that were produced in all parts of the world from the first stages of human civilization, the Industrial Revolution and its aftermath, and finally World War I. This richly illustrated volume contains over 380 images, with 72 in full colour.

World History of Design Volume 1 Reviews

… it is an extraordinarily useful compendium. I will turn to it again and again to find new points of connection and departure, and I am sure I won’t be alone. Within our discipline, I hope we can all lay aside the perspectives of our narrow expertise long enough to simply thank Professor Margolin – thank him for his effort, and thank him for his generosity. The most exciting thing about these books is the further scholarship that they will engender. In that sense, they are truly the works of a lifelong teacher. -- Glenn Adamson * West 86th *
