Features: This book was originally published in 2000 as a national key textbook for general higher education under the "Nineth Five-Year Plan" (No. 116, Ministry of Education [1997]). It has now been approved by the Ministry of Education as a planned textbook for general higher education under the "Tenth Five-Year Plan" (No. 17, Ministry of Education [2002]). For the second edition, while retaining the original system and core content, it emphasizes the relationship between design and civilization, culture, and the relationship between people and objects in design. It particularly highlights the future trends of design development as humanity transitions from an era of reading and writing to a new sensory information age, focusing on how to start from human needs and return to a design philosophy centered on people. This book can be used as a limited elective course textbook for undergraduate students in industrial design and design arts at universities, as well as an elective course textbook for students in related fields such as engineering, literature, economics, and management. It is also a valuable reference for design professionals.
