Design and Applied Technology (Secondary 4-6)

2.2 DESIGN AND CULTURE

Culture is a collective lifestyle of a group of people of a particular space and time. Culture

may be reflected in cloths, tools, any objects related to those people’s daily life.

Cultural background is a building of idea generation: individuals of different cultural, family,

academic, etc backgrounds generating their own ideas with respect to different contexts.

Therefore, a unique idea is often a hybrid of diverse culinary ingredients and methods of

preparation.

2.2.1 Relevance and Influence of Design in Different Cultures and Societies

Good designs and systems are everlasting. Therefore scholars and related practitioners

examine them in depth to extract the essences, which are generic principles that may be

applicable to other areas, instead of duplication. For example, the Ming-style ‘horseshoe’ is

more than a museum collection. It hints some ergonomic principles.

How people process information that they learn from the surrounding is another reflection of

different cultures. Studies show that people of western cultures pay attention to different

things from those of eastern cultures.
