Ulm School of Design
- Region
- Germany
The Ulm School of Design was the institutional home of Tomás Maldonado, whose idea of design as forward-looking and "projectual" shapes the chapter's view of design's relationship to time. Alongside the Bauhaus, it is also cited as a source of modernism's rationalist, standardizing legacy.
Cited as the institutional home of Tomás Maldonado, whose view that design is fundamentally "projectual" — projecting, intending, and orienting itself towards shaping what is yet to come — grounds the chapter's discussion of design's forward-facing, chronos-bound temporality. Later cited again alongside the Bauhaus as one of the influential institutions behind high modernism's rationalist, standardizing, functionalist legacy.
