dieter rams forum: design und architektur

design and architecture have been engaged in a kind of symbiosis since the earliest times. from lavish wall paintings in pompeii or the baroque period to the advertising spaces on building walls and in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, there has always been a form of communication design occurring both on and in architecture. and guidance systems are still in use today to ensure that people do not get lost in the building. it is no less true that industrial design has been associated with architecture since the nineteenth century, from an historicist excessive kind of furnishing to the minimalist built-in bathtubs and fitted kitchens of modernity.
what could the relationship between architecture and design be like in the future?
the rams foundation would like to explore this question with experts from the fields of architecture, interior design, signage, and journalism.
