This document discusses the evolution of design from the 19th century to the present day and how science and technology have influenced different fields of design. It covers several key points:
1) European classical design in the 19th-20th centuries focused on applied arts and the role of designers as applied artists. Design cities like Milan, Barcelona, and London emerged.
2) In the 21st century, science and technology have intersected with design, from the earliest computers to modern devices like the iPhone. Scientists have taken on roles as designers.
3) Computer science now acts as both a new science and a language connecting other design fields. It should be taught in schools to promote computational thinking.

20. The language of sciences of design
-Computer science has a doble character:
It is a new science in itself
It is the language in which speak the other sciences of
design.
-Computer science should be learn as a new
language at the school

36. Epilogue: A Designlab?
We need a center for doing research and
innovation on design.
In new areas: design of sound landscapes,
design from all, not only for all, …
A center for designing new disciplines...
A center to focus on the “design of design” (Fred
Brooks).
We have already too much schools of design and
no designlab.
Times has come!
