This reading produced an interesting perspective of design within the early 1900’s (roughly between 1910-1935) focusing mainly on modernism. Not only did it explain modernism as a whole, but it also went through a list of countries that were designing a modernistic style and the achievements and place within the design industry. One of the most eye-opening parts of the reading to me personally was Gerrit Rietveld’s Schröder House (depicted above (interior) and below (exterior) and is still available to be viewed by the public to this day) which was designed and created in 1924, yet rivals modern stylistic housing used today. Overall, I found this reading to be quite informative in the history of design, and well-paced, through the use of dividing up the countries into individual topics.
