Description

This volume publishes in their entirety the various components of a conference hosted by MoMA in 1972, 'The Universitas Project'. The distinguished participants, drawn from a wide range of scholarly and artistic disciplines, engaged in a multidisciplinary debate on the future of design and design institutions in the postindustrial era. Addressing issues and ideas still relevant today, this book makes a particularly fertile chapter in the intellectual history of the Museum available for the first time to scholars, the architecture and design community, and the general public.
