A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Objects
Adrian Forty's intervention into design history has proved to be hugely significant. His book on the subject, Objects of Desire: Design and Society, has become hugely popular. This chapter explores the author's experience in discovering Adrian's Objects of Desire. Not only did this book provide a methodological object lesson to the discipline as a whole by demonstrating that we have to ask more far‐reaching questions of our material, Adrian also undertook pioneering research in areas that have subsequently been readdressed from many different perspectives and offered many different readings. Adrian is a true pioneer of the discipline of design history as it has developed, and continues to develop, today. As a result of his work, design historical scholarship has finally found itself a secure place in the academy alongside art and architectural history.
