设计是艺术品还是工艺品?设计师究竟是一种什么职能?它需要一种什么能力呢?怎样学习设计?它象一种玄妙的灵感,人们等待它的出现并借此进行优化创造?或是一种人们可以学会的科学?那么怎样学习设计呢?卡塞尔综合大学工业设计系主任德林格(De-hlinger)教授在此划出了一个宽广的轮廓,一种学习方法,提供了一个对设计教育总结的好机会。卡塞尔工业设计专业原为皇家工艺美术学校的一部分,1970年与国立造型艺术学校合并,1971年再次合并为卡塞尔综合大学,当时创立的原因是从贸易的角度出发的,由于巴黎世界博览会上,明显表明德国产品的价值落后于邻国,特别是法国和英国,对德国来说这是一种耻辱也是无法否认的事实,我们的产品缺乏自己独特而有审美力的图案和造型,总是局限于美学法则在相适应的产品上生搬硬套的临摹,销路下降对外国产品的依赖对德国的富强将产生令人担心的后果。这就是当时贸易部长的备忘录。然而有趣的是,工业设计专业在当时不是设在从前的高等艺术 Is design a work of art or craft? What exactly is a designer’s function? What kind of ability does it require? How do you learn design? Is it a mystical inspiration that people wait for it to appear and optimize for creation? Or A science that people can learn? So how do you learn design? Professor De-Hlinger, head of industrial design at Kassel University, draws a broad outline of a learning approach that provides a Good opportunity to summarize design education. Kassel Industrial Design was originally part of the Royal Academy of Arts and Crafts. In 1970, it was merged with the National Molding School and was merged into Kassel University in 1971. The reason was founded from a trade point of view. Since Paris World At the expo, it was clear that the value of German products was lagging behind that of neighboring countries, especially France and Britain. This is a shameful and undeniable fact to Germany. Our products lack the unique and aesthetic designs and shapes, Always confined to the aesthetics of the law in the adaptation of the product mechanically copied copies of the sales decline dependence on foreign products on the prosperous Germany will have alarming consequences. This is the memorandum by the trade minister at the time. Interestingly, however, the industrial design profession was not based on the higher arts of the past
