It has laid a more artistic design a

And West Germanys economic recovery soon, and to enter the developed western capitalist countries in the world, largely thanks to the rapid development of foreign trade. As the first Prime Minister, Konrad Adenauer in October

To the late 50s of the last century, the so-called “exp

With the revival of the German economy, as well as the increase in exports of industrial products, the industrial sector to re-felt the urgent need for art designers. The early 50s, many large enterprises to set up an art d

At the same time, many colleges and universities have also played a run of professional art and design. In 1953, in the spirit of Ba

The original founders of this school is t

8、he Inge-suk Seoul (Inge Scholl). She founded the schools purpose is to commemorate her in the “World War II” in the expense of the brothers and sisters, they are anti-war organization “White Rose” members. Schools were first established sociology, media and political science professions. Its educati

9、onal philosophy is to eliminate by Inge-suk of Seoul known as the disastrous “technical civilization” and the German long-standing confrontation between cultures, it should be with “the spirit of peace and freedom” to promote a culture of Fascism in Europe . Ulm Modeling School is the first Rector o

10、f the famous Swiss artist Max Bill and art designer, a former Bauhaus student. Bill of Shu Er suggested that schools should be run as a art, architecture and design schools. In his view, through urban planning, architecture and daily necessities, such as design improvements, you can change peoples v

11、iew of society. Therefore, the Bill for the designers to establish the main task is to daily necessities, designed as a kind of “cultural products.” Designers should be pursued to give products with more humanistic and artistic, rather than a commercial purpose to improve the design value. However,

12、the Bill and to Maldonado, led by the young has the effect of differences among teachers. The focus of the two differences are: art and design based on whether the art or science-technology-based? Bill held the first view, however, the era of Ulm with the Bauhaus school in which the times have been

13、very different. With the accelerated development of science and technology, industrialization, and increased automation, technical division of labor become increasingly dense, the internal structure of a large number of complex and require specialized scientific knowledge, the design of industrial p

14、roducts demand. In this way, in order to Maldonado, led by a teacher against the Bill to develop curricula. By the end of 1956, Bill left school. Second, a high degree of rational system design education Thought Industrial design an important development after the war is its scientific development.

15、In the industrial automation and technology, the era of specialization, a number of large enterprises in solving the design task without absorbing art designers to participate, mainly due to a lack of artistic designer technical expertise. Maldonado believes that art and design schools to deal with

16、this situation is responsible, he advocated a new type of art and design schools should be based on the latest scientific and technological achievements to arm themselves and cultivate a capacity to engage in technically complex product design, the art designer. Reposted elsewhere in the paper for f

17、ree download Second Rector Maldonado was born in Argentina ,1938-1942 College of Fine Arts in Buenos Aires, 40 in Switzerland in the late study philosophy and logic. He claims that Ulm schools aim is to master the technology, civilization, humanism, but humanism can only be established

18、 on the basis of science. Thus, in his leadership, the Ulm School of Design as an Engineering Academy of Sciences is basically the design of schools, students are also engineering in nature. Ulm School in 1964, completely abandoned furniture, textiles, glass, ceramics, wallpaper, books, binding and

19、other traditional areas of art and design teaching, focusing on technically complex industrial products. Problem-solving process, the formation of a “product complexity theory.” A variety of products - from a spoon into the helicopters and computers, in the degree of complexity at different levels.

20、“Product complexity theory” is based on Moore on the control theory and information theory works. Moore also “structural complexity” and “functional complexity” concept applied to the field of art and design. Maldonado, in information theory, experiments and activities of aesthetic theory in the bac

21、kground art and design and scientific research linked. He advocated the practice in art and design must make extensive use of a number of mathematical disciplines, such as set theory (parts of machine tools to solve a unified combination of the issue), polyhedron geometry (shape and irregular shape

22、of the rules of design), group theory (symmetry and control theory) , topology (the object of measurement and non-metric structure) and so on. System design is the school at this time, an important development, and many countries had an impact. The system concept in industrial design has three meani

23、ngs: first, the system concept was used in industrial design, people are no longer the design object as an isolated thing, but rather look at it on the system, so that functional design is not confined on a single design object, but also to consider it and other environmental factors relationship. F

24、or example, cabinet to consider the various components of the relationship between the location and composition of the relationship between sets of furniture to consider seating, tables, beds, etc. in the form and color harmony. Also take into account the overall system environment and human needs,

25、such as the system point of view from the kitchen to design the various parts of it, and so on to design the bedroom system, office systems, communications equipment, mass consumption, systems, etc. So that it led to the concept of product system. Secondly, from the system concept, a single piece of

26、 furniture and tools are also seen as a system, put them into a combination of parts designed, easy installation and removal. Third, consider the location of the relationship between objects, for example, design a single cup, they often will not consider the relationship between the cups. The system

27、 design to remind the designers to consider how they pile together, how packaging storage and other issues. System concept has led to many design innovations. For example, the school created the first music center equipment cabinet, toolbox and so on. System design method is also used in a single pr

28、oduct design, for example, working-style sofa, which consists of six components: frame, plate, handrails, back pad, headrest and seat. In 1968, due to various reasons, Ulm schools have been closed. It only existed for 13 years, almost the same short time of existence of Bauhaus, but it is also the same as the Bauhaus produced an indelible impact. Because it created a new art and d
