A Question of Design

Many people would argue that the Industrial Revolution was a critical point for the design world. The Industrial Revolution changed the way people design. Everything was made to produce in high quantities rather than personal craftsmanship. Not only did production change but the industrial revolution changed how we design today. They didn't really care about the environment like we do today with everything going "green". But that isn't their fault. They didn't have the knowledge we have today to know the effects this industrialization had on the surroundings. But the industrialization answered many questions that we answered by learning from the past. I think if the industrial revolution didn't happen when it did, it would've taken place soon after so regardless it has shape designers in both positive and negative ways and we built on that to get us where we are today.
