Theme I : Design Theories and Ideas in Europe

In the mid-eighteenth century, Edinburgh was confronted with an increase in population and an indication of new prosperity connected to social and economic, as well as cultural and aesthetic, progress. The Union of 1707 between the Scottish and English Parliaments was partly responsible for this social-cultural boom. With the emergence of new money and social demands, Edinburgh was in a position to finally begin improving arts, sciences, manufacturing, industry, and living conditions in Scotland. The improvement of Scottish industry and manufacturing became one of the major issues tackled by the leading circles of Scottish society, which led to the opening of the Trustees Drawing Academy of Edinburgh, the first publicly founded School of Design in Great Britain, in 1760. The aim of the Academy was to provide practical instruction under the guidance of experienced masters to fellow Scots who hoped to get a proper education in artistic skills and abilities for utilitarian arts in order to contribute, as a ‘designer’, to the advancement of Scottish industry and manufacturing.
