Perspectives places emphasis not only on design in the here and now, but on its prehistory and future projections. Sampling an array of practices and methodologies, it is a logic that invites the visitor to consider the designer's search for a solution and its interpretation once in the public realm. From a social perspective, design comes from a desire to change – a more or less utopian representation of something better. This motivation also traverses design's cultural perspective, where forms, materials, technical realizations and production processes provide important anthropological indicators and evidence of the evolution of human behaviour, needs and wants.
