After successful completion of the course, students are able to identify varied relationships between artworks and space, starting from a deep investigation into 20th century art history. They can then critically examine designs, spaces, objects and production processes.

Tracing the origins of the swivel chair: using the example of the office, the lecture aims to make the interactions between design and society, technology, economy and history tangible. The lecture thus provides a theoretical superstructure for the semester topic planned in the Form* Design module. It sheds light on the embedding of design in the cultural and consumer history context. The aim of the course is to critically examine our designed environment.
