Towards an Interdisciplinary and Scientific Approach in Design Education; Petr Tučný and his Applied Aesthetics

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Petr Tučný (1920‒2012) was a Czechoslovak architect, an associate professor of design at several renowned universities and a respected designer. In 1950, Petr Tučný became the head of the Laboratory of Experimental and Applied Aesthetics at the University of Economics in Prague. His premise that “aesthetical experience is not only emotional enjoyment but a rather complex process” led him to pursue the interdisciplinary approach to tool-handle design based on medical research. Tučný’s scientific viewpoint was parallel yet independent from the famous School of Arts in Zlín (Czechoslovakia) led by the sculptor and pioneer designer Vincenc Makovský and later by the internationally acclaimed Czechoslovak designer Zdeněk Kovář. When comparing Tučný and Kovář’s teaching methods in detail we can witness two different approaches in perceiving the designing strategy. While Kovář’s rather intuitive way of designing was based on organic aesthetics and kept a distance from the rational and technical perception of design and scientific progress, Tučný, on the contrary, evolved a strict interdisciplinary and scientific approach. The paper will illustrate two different viewpoints on the ergonomic of hand-tools. At the same time, it attempts to shed light on Tučný’s designing and teaching methods not only in the Czechoslovakia but also further afield (at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, at Halle University and at the Ulm School of Design).
