Pages 138-146 | Published online: 17 Jan 2017
 

Abstract

The evolution and current status of modern design in China and the West is analysed and compared in the context of the economic, technological and cultural development in China and the West. The dynamic interaction between these three elements and modern design reveals the forces that drive the development of design education in modern China, namely: a new type of industrialisation, global economic integration, internationalisation of education, digital media technology, Internet technology, culture and creative industries, modern services industries and cyclical industries.
