Seminar 3 April 1st-
-Reading- cold war hot houses

In the time of the cold war between America and Russia design was effected greatly. It was mainly just threats not actions, fighting for power. In design this signifies a big turning point from modernism towards post modernism. During the time of modernism a deisgner was thought of as a sort of hero, saving people from domesticated living situations. Once things turned over to post modernism the designer was seen more as an average person, presnting his audience with everyday objects. Everyday objects were created as a means to pretent/forget about the cold war threats that were happening all around. Everday people were in such an uncomforatble zone, the designers took it upon themselves to try to create a more comfortable, safe enviroment through the objects they designed. Comfort in time of panic.
