One of the most momentous occurrences of the 20th and 21st centuries has received surprisingly little attention: the transformation in how nearly everything around us is designed and made. Chairs, desks, pens, cars, stoves, refrigerators, printing presses, lighting fixtures and children’s toys all look very different than they did a century ago and often are made through manufacturing process and out of materials that did not exist then. This class will focus on a group of pioneering, unheralded American geniuses who brought about this transformation, with particular focus on Cleveland’s Viktor Schreckengost.
