> Design for a low-cost world, useful pdf in order to understand the conceptual frame of the class.

> Introduction (part 1)

> Introduction (part 2)

Before to enter the four by four grid (see introduction), it is useful to go through these links to get a broad understanding of some relevant figure/thoughts/ideas related to the XXth century (as seen in class). Without these people we would not have the contemporary design as it is

> Marcel Duchamp, “Making sense of Marcel Duchamp”

> Marshall McLuhan, “The Medium is the Massage”

> “1984” vs the “Brave New World” (or, Orwell vs Huxley…)

> Guy Debord and the “Society of Spectacle”
