all the ideas are expressed in material (usually coming from the perspective of one material based discipline)

material is just a means of expressing the idea (especially conceptual design) - working for client (originally intended for)

free of outside restrictions - can start from material or from idea

ARTS AND CRAFTS

The Arts and Crafts Movement began primarily as a search for authentic and meaningful styles for the 19th century and as a reaction to the eclectic revival of historic styles of the Victorian era and to “soulless� machine-made production aided by the Industrial Revolution.

CONCEPTUAL ART Sol LeWitt “In conceptual art the idea or concept is the most important aspect of the work. When an artist uses a conceptual form of art, it means that all of the planning and decisions are made beforehand and the execution is a perfunctory affair. The idea becomes a machine that makes the art.�

POSTMODERNISM MEMPHIS Ettore Sottsass Matteo Thun “No-one mentioned forms, colours, styles, decorations,” observed Radice. That was the point. After decades of modernist doctrine, Sottsass and his collaborators longed to be liberated from the tyranny of smart, but soulless ‘good taste’ in design.”

CONCEPTUAL DESIGN DUTCH DESIGN = DROOG Dutch platform of conceptual design promotes the work of designers who believe that form, function, use of material and decoration are rigorously subordinate to underlying ideas. Concept, humour, simplicity, and comment on the world and its own discipline come first.
