Three waves of theoretical architecture and design

Abstract

The history of architecture and design as a complex discipline is no longer seen as a direct evolutionary structure. A more rational approach implies multilinearity, one of the lines of evolution is theoretical. Alvin Toffler in 1970 developed the theory of three-wave development of society, and, as a result, this influenced the development of design as a whole. Therefore, we are interested in considering the very theory of the three waves of Alvin Toffler and understanding how this development can be considered in relation to architecture and design. The purpose of the article is to consider the theory of three waves of Alvin Toffler, to compare the development of architecture and the theory of design and history with these waves, thereby identifying the processes that were the starting point for the emergence and development of each wave in these directions. To consider how certain processes that took place in the world have influenced not only the development of society, but also the development of architecture and design.

Kansei engineering, emotional design and ergo design as shaping tools in architecture and design

“…That is, at the top of Walter's pyramid is what the emotional design purpose -to give the user pleasure, new positive impressions and emotions, because exactly emotions give the deepest imprint on a person's long-term memory. But the consumer will get emotional pleasure from using the product only after, according to Walter, that convinced of its functionality, reliability and convenience [21].…”
