PACKAGING DESIGN IN THE CONTEXT OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONCEPT OF «GENIUS LOCI»

Architecton: Proceedings of Higher Education №2 (62) June, 2018

The article poses the problem of innovation in "packaging reuse” design. According to the authors, designers may depart from standard solutions in packaging design through partial use of the environmental concept of "genius loci” in which packaging is considered to be part of the spatial material environment and participates in the formation of a unique experience of interaction with it.

BACK TO KANT – FORWARD TO DESIGN!

Architecton: Proceedings of Higher Education №4 (44) December, 2013

The article considers the history of design and, primarily, of its methodology without which the institutionalization of design is impossible. The author comes to the conclusion that design was born in Germany, where the leading philosophical movements of the late 19th century introduced methodologism into the sphere of the aesthetic, which had been considered as incomprehensible from standpoint of reason. The rationalisation of aesthetics allowed the conflict between art and technology to be resolved, as a result of which design was born: in 1907, the first industrial association, "Werkbund", was set up, and Peter Behrens (1868–1940) came up with his first products of design.
