Another goal is to present a broad vision of an event that has taken place at the intersection of different design areas throughout history: arts, crafts and industry, creativity and commercial gain, style and functional benefit, material objects and human desires, ideology utopia, production and consumption. Finally, it is aimed to examine the design product given to the students and to gain the complementary reasoning skills needed to place it in the historical context in which it emerges and is used and assessed.
