Functionalism Yesterday, Functionalism Tomorrow: Thoughts Inspired by Adorno’s Address to the Deutscher Werkbund, “Funktionalismus Heute,” Delivered in Berlin on October 3, 1965
In Amirhosein Khandizaji (ed.), Reading Adorno: The Endless Road. Palgrave Macmillan. pp. 233-245 (2019)
Abstract
On October 23, 1965, Theodor Adorno delivered a lecture to the German Werkbund in Berlin in which he addressed the relation between the supposedly “fine” and the so-called “applied” arts—a polarity he finds highly problematical. This essay analyzes Adorno’s discourse in the context both of the German Werkbund and subsequent developments in design and design theory. We conclude with some reflections on the meaning of functionalism today.My notes
