Summary: "Design and Tradition" by Amor Fenn is a scholarly exposition on architectural principles and the historic evolution of design, written in the early 20th century. The text examines the interplay between art, culture, and social conditions, focusing on how historical styles and materials influence contemporary design practices. It aims to provide understanding and guidance on effective design principles, catering particularly to aspiring artists and designers. The opening of "Design and Tradition" establishes the author's belief that true design comes from a synthesis of historical inspiration rather than pure originality. Fenn emphasizes that the imagination is shaped by personal experiences and external influences, asserting that even the most creative endeavors are derived from earlier forms and ideas. He discusses the essential training for designers, highlighting the importance of engaging with the historical context of design, as well as understanding materials and production processes. This serves as a foundation for future explorations into various styles and techniques, laying the groundwork for a thorough historical review in the following chapters.
