Through sculpture to design for industry

Abstract

A point made informally during the Scarborough conference on teaching of engineering design, earlier this year (Technical Education, June 1966), may prompt further reflection: there is some progress in abandoning the notion that while the engineer is chiefly concerned with relating the machine to its work the industrial designer is concerned with relating the machine to man. That is to say there is still an inhibiting separation of functions and if the industrial designer is expected on the scene it is only for the closing stages of a project.
