Das gute Glas. Design digital sammeln und erforschen
Eine designhistorische Betrachtung und Entwicklung einer digitalen Infrastruktur zur Analyse von Trinkgläsern
Under the premise of good form, everyday objects in the post-war period were awarded various design prizes or shown in exhibitions to raise awareness of good design. Drinking glasses from this period are the focus here. What is a good glass? The author explores this question using guidelines written at the time and award-winning glasses. In addition, she lays out the development of the digital tools that were used to research and compare the objects. This includes typification of drinking glasses as well as accurate shape attribution.
This design-historical examination shows what contemporary research on a specific subject area in museums might look like.
