The Thursday seminar cycle starts today at 7pm with the lecture from the cycle Journey Through Time “The ’50 – Design of Engineers”.
The period from 1950 to 1959 saw enormous changes in society. In the uneasy peace which followed the second World War II, austerity gradually gave way to affluence and more and more consumer goods became available. Manufacturers were looking to move their manufacturing focus away from military field. A new interest in good design, in engineering and in manufacturing emerged.
The lecture will be delivered by Stefania Silvestri, General Secretary DesignLibrary Milan. It is free for DesignLibrary members.
