Abstract | Modern design is thought to have emerged along with industrialization. However, an examination of the logical structure that constitutes it will retrace its origins in the ancient Greek theory of “org...anic technology.” The status of craftsmen who followed mechanical logic was low in the Western cultural tradition, as illustrated by Hephaistos in Greek mythology. Socrates attempted to overcome this situation by propounded the humanism of technology. Plato’s idealism, based on the ideas of the good and the beautiful, provided the basis for the modern notion of design as planning before production. Aristotle refined the logic of organic production, which is the basis of today’s functionalism. His theory of “poetic technology” suggests a prototype of the “wicked problem” in modern design. In this way, Greek thought can be considered the predecessor of modern design because modern design seeks to modify mechanical technology according to the organic nature of humanity.show more |
