3. Modern design

Modern design has developed since the 18th century, when the design style was mainly industrial design and commercial design, and designers began to explore new design methods to better meet the needs of customers.This period saw the emergence of many important design contributors such as Peter Behrens (1868-1940), a pioneer of modern architecture and industrial design in Germany.From 1886 to 1891 he received his artistic education at the Hamburg School of Arts and Crafts before studying architecture.He became a member of the Munich Secession in 1893, joined the "Group of Seven" composed of artists, architects and designers in 1900 and began architectural design activities, became the promoter and leader of the German Manufacturing Union in 1907, and in the same year was hired as an art consultant for AEG of the German General Electric Company to begin his career as an industrial designer.

格罗披乌斯（Walter Gropius, 1883-1969），格罗披乌斯出生于柏林的一个建筑师家庭，青年时代曾在柏林和慕尼黑学习建筑。1907年起在贝伦斯的事务所工作，1910年与迈耶合伙在柏林开设建筑事务所，并于次年合作设计了采用大片玻璃幕墙和转角窗的法古斯工厂。1919年，格罗披乌斯在德国魏玛创建了建国立建筑学校，简称"包豪斯"，其目的是培养新型设计人才。学校重视基础训练，逐渐形成以平面构成、立体构成和色彩构成为特色的基础课程。学校主张艺术与技术的统一；动手能力与理论素养并重；强调设计的目的是人而不是产品；提倡在掌握手工艺的同时，了解现代工业的特点并遵循自然与客观的法则来进行设计。格罗披乌斯是二十世纪最重要的设计师，设计理论家和设计教育的奠基人，他对二十世纪现代设计的影响是难以估计的。还有其他许多著名设计师，他们的作品对设计的发展产生了重大影响。
