Description:
The Global Perspectives on Design and Culture database
was designed in 2002 to support classes that are taught
on the subject at the University of Wisconsin-Madison
(Department of Environment, Textiles and Design; School
of Human Ecology) and the University of Wisconsin-Stevens
Point (Division of Interior Architecture). The courses
were initiated to address issues of global identity,
culture and community, and cross-cultural interface
through the study of design of living environments
(including landscape; exteriors and interiors; furniture;
household objects; textiles, and decorative, personal
and ritual objects). They offer an intimate, human-based,
cultural approach to globalization issues.
