In contrast to a traditional design historical approach which emphasizes schools and movements, this volume addresses time as a continuum and considers the importance of temporality for design practice and history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContributors address how designers, design historians and design thinkers might respond to the global challenges of time, the rhythms of work, and the increasing speed of life and communication between different communities. They consider how the past informs the present and the future in terms of design, the importance of time-based design practices such as rapid prototyping and slow design, time in relation to memory and forgetting, and artefacts such as the archive for which time is key, and they also ponder the design of time itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShowcasing the work of 15 design scholars from a range of international contexts, this book provi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eDesign, History \u0026amp; Time \u003c\/i\u003eoffers a challenge to design historians. It asks them to consider how assumptions about time as a measure of social value are ‘baked in’ to our thinking about design. It also offers ways to work through these assumptions and fixed representations, by putting a critical analysis of time at the forefront of design history. * Journal of Design History *\u003cbr\u003ePart history, part travelogue, part meditation on the meaning of time, \u003ci\u003eDesign, History and Time \u003c\/i\u003eoffers challenging thoughts on the nature of time and playful reflections on popular culture. * Elizabeth Guffey, Professor of Art and Design History at the State University of New York at Purchase, USA *\u003cbr\u003eFrom the permanence of cathedrals whose very construction spanned centuries to the inherent obsolescence of digital communication devices, this fascinating collection forces reconsideration of society’s changing relationship with time over time. * Paul Atkinson, Professor of Design History at Sheffield Hallam University, UK *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Figures List of Contributors Foreword, \u003ci\u003eBarry Curtis (Royal College of Art, UK)\u003c\/i\u003e Introduction, \u003ci\u003eZoë Hendon (Museum of Domestic Design and Architecture, Middlesex University London, UK) and Anne Massey (U\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eniversity for the Creative Arts, UK)\u003c\/i\u003e  \u003cb\u003eSection One: Millennia, Centuries\u003c\/b\u003e 1.
