Context Research on Industrial Design and Mass Culture

摘要

Cultural introspection on design is the selfexamination of the new procedure and context of culture. The study on consciously associating design with culture indicates that the science of design has entered a period of maturity. Cultural context endows design with the exact meaning. So only when context participate in design and concrete context provides supplementary information, can design show its characteristic exact meaning. With the change of culture construction in modern society, mass culture has become the main object of culture theoretical analysis and criticism. The values of mass culture change the system of the people's perception and understanding and provide newer context for designing culture. Once we connect modern design with mass culture, which the two concepts coexist in the same time, we will firmly believe with more confident that design culture is mass culture that is chosen by the way of life.
