The seventh class-Shifting foci of industrial design

Today's topic is about the shifting foci of industrial design in Finland.

For me, it still like another history class of design, but I can find out the change of design through these events of design in Finland. Design department in Aalto University is a good example. It was created as a handcraft school in end of 19 century, and then switched to technical design in 1960-70s and focused on industrial design in 1980s. When user interface and service design were just raised in 2000, it changed the target to industrial and strategic design, and then in collaborative and industrial design in 2010. It all base on the need of society.

Besides, Aalto University is also good example of combination of multiple field, such as business, design, art and technology, such as IDBM which is combination of business and design field. It is really outstanding in innovation and cross-field cooperation.

I think design in Finland always on the side of society need is very great and is a main way to maintain the advantage of design. Besides, design in Finland has been applied in more various fields in the society that can improve efficiency of problem solving.
