Pioneers of Brazilian Design

Pioneers of Brazilian Design

CUNHA LIMA, Guilherme

Lecture:

The design is a field of knowledge, and as such, exists even before the profession itself. It begins when man realizes that, by creating instruments, he was increasing his ability to interact with the environment. By creating drawings he was tempting to communicate with their peers. But the profession of designer is a result of the organization of the workforce. It is the result of the great expertise that came in the wake of the needs caused by the complexity of major social changes promoted by the Industrial Revolution.
