“I enjoyed learning about the creation of the Bauhaus establishment . For me , it is strange to think of that idea
as innovative because it seems so standard in the design field, especially product design . I completely agree with the idea of having people be trained in becoming an artist , technician , and businessman . By learning other facets of the design process , such as , how is it marketed? Or , is that really the best material for that product? Challenges the designer and , in my opinion , makes them a much more dimensional asset to have . No more aimless designing . The designer can put everything into consideration . To take this concept a little further I think this idea of learning should be implemented in other disciplines such as business school, law, sciences , etc . If everyone knew something about the fields of study they may be working with in the future , there would be a lot less error in communication . I run a screen-printing business and every time we get contracted to do a private project I have to explain to our client how the screen-printing process works so they know what type of image possibilities can be printed . Once , they have learned even just a little bit about the process our business ’ expect everyone together works much more seamlessly . I don t to learn everything about every process , but at least having some small knowledge or interested in learning is extremely valuable . The connection I can make with Dieter Rams is that he ’ trade and studied architecture as well as the carpenter s then he directly began working for a firm . This sort of background is similar to the Bauhaus idea . He has touched •Education: on a lot of aspects of the design business and possibly because of that he became a very successful product •1.
