The development process of modernist design, the background of the formation and development of mode

Modernist design is one of the most important and influential design activities in the history of human design, which emerged in Europe in the 20s of the 20th century and has spread rapidly after decades of rapid developmentIts trend has spread almost all over the world, and under its influence, many new design styles and genres have been produced.

As for the reasons for the formation of modernist design, most of the previous expositions have started from the ideological field, and put modernist design in the broad background of the modernist movement, believing that its emergence is a historical necessity under the influence of the modernist movement.

This kind of understanding often only takes into account the external environment in which modernist design is produced, and rarely takes into account the characteristics and development and change laws of design activities, which is inevitably one-sided, and also affects our understanding of other related design activities.

Compare. Architecture.

It is a kind of rebellion that originated within modernism, a rebellion against the pure rationality of modernism, people are tired of facing indifferent and rigid design all day long, and it expresses people's desire for humanized and humane products. Modernism and postmodernism are stylistically polarized, but they have similarities and differences in many aspects.

For example, Hassan compares the two parts in "The Postmodernist Turn" as follows: Philosophically: Modernism is rationalism.

Realism is the philosophical foundation, while postmodernism is based on romanticism.

Individualism is the philosophical foundation.

Ideologically: Modernism emphasizes the worship of technology, the rationality and logic of function, while postmodernism advocates the exaltation of technology, high emotion, and people-oriented.

Modern design, whether it is architecture, product, or graphic design, has a common background for their formation and development:

1. Modern design is an inevitable product of the technical conditions of industrialized mass production.

2. Modern design is the product of the slogan that the design community has changed from the past to serve the powerful and put forward the slogan of serving the people, and it is the process of democratization of design.

3. The formation of modern design is based on factors such as the increasing abundance of society, the increasing role of the middle class in social life, the increasing transformation of society to the era of consumption, the increasing expansion of science and technology, the increasingly aggressive public, and the transformation of the world structure from the confrontation after World War II to the new complex pattern after the Cold War.

The significance of modern design for human development

1. Modernist design contributed to the rise of modernist architecture.

2. It meets the needs of the development of the social era.

3. Modernist design and construction are convenient and economical.

4. Modernist design enables the integration of science and art.

5. Modernist design promoted the birth of the modernist architectural culture system. Promote innovative ideas and oppose conformism. With modern society and modern life as the background, the industrial revolution is used as a technical support.

Persist in linking school education with social production. Advocate the standardization of mass production.

The so-called modern design theory actually includes a wide range, including the history of modern architecture, the history of industrial product design, the history of graphic design, the history of fashion design, the history of advertising design, and so on. In each category, there are derived theoretical branches, such as in architectural theory, there are theoretical sub-disciplines such as interior design, environmental design, landscape design, urban planning, etc., and the system is favored. Therefore, the field of design theory is basically studied separately according to these departments, and the elaboration of historical theory is basically carried out separately.
