Australian Design, Trades and Manufacturing 1945-2007: Connecting Histories

该项目旨在通过关注1945年至2007年设计师和制造业贸易商之间不断变化的关系，创造澳大利亚设计和制造的新历史。通过这样做，该项目将重新评估设计向全球网络化、数字化实践的过渡。预计的结果包括一部专著，澳大利亚国家图书馆收藏的口述历史访谈和一个播客。预计的好处包括增强对澳大利亚设计、制造行业和创意行业的职业道路的了解，了解技能短缺、再培训，以及如何最好地支持未来设计师和制造商之间的知识共享。

This project aims to generate a new history of Australian design and manufacturing, by turning attention to the shifting relationship between designers and manufacturing tradespeople from 1945 to 2007. In so doing, this project will re-evaluate design's transition to a globally-networked, digitised practice. Anticipated outcomes include a monograph, oral history interviews in the National Library of Australia's collection and a podcast. Expected benefits include an enhanced understanding of occupational pathways across Australian design, manufacturing trades and the creative industries, to inform understandings of skills shortages, retraining, and how best to support knowledge-sharing between designers and manufacturers in the future.
