- These videos were made in 2020 as a desperate COVID-era attempt to help keep students engaged in learning as in-person teaching stopped. With no support, no resources, a ridiculous "production schedule," and no idea they would become a sort of permanent record of the time, I just threw them at TH-cam. The students mostly didn't watch them, but lots of others did, and that continues to amaze me. I decided to leave them up for anyone who is just curious about design.
NOTE: If you are a current student at Rhode Island School of Design and your professor has sent you here to watch these videos, you should really worry about how much tuition you are paying just to have a teacher sending you to TH-cam instead of teaching you themselves. Just saying...

Wow, I LOVE these lectures and I couldn't be more delighted that you're uploading them to TH-cam!!! I'm not a designer or engineer - in fact, I'm a little old lady who just happens to be fascinated by industrial design. I first discovered the History of ID channel several years ago, when "From Bauhaus to Broadway: A Tubular Steel Bonanza" came up as a random recommendation in my TH-cam feed. I've thoroughly enjoyed everything you've posted, from course lectures to industrial designer profiles (I've become a huge Lurelle Guild fan) and the talks you gave at ehxibition openings. I find your topics fascinating, your content both educational and thought-provoking, and your delivery absolutely charming. Bravo, and thanks so much for posting these lectures!
I can't tell you how grateful I am for this beautiful comment! Forget the students, you are my new target audience!
@@HistoryofID you sir are a trully wonderful human being. I watched all these lectures. Each one more fascinating than the last.
These lectures are amazing - they are a real gift to the world.
Is it just me or this Raymond Loewy gentleman looks uncannily like the Ironman Tony Stark? Big thanks from a Chinese student looking to take the qualification exam to get in the art school of a Chinese university!
Yes I can see that resemblance!!!
It's amazing how much emotional impact technology can have when designed properly. I instantly fell in love with his steam locomotives.
Please keep uploading your lectures - they are great!

Professor, you have the most interesting teaching techniques in the history of educating. Everything that once was taken for granted in the world is now the most intriguing mind stimulating and motivating lectures gifted to mankind.
Thank you, Thank you
I just love his lectures! Very intelligent and informative ...and his personality is so entertaining!!😊
What a epic channel! Thanks for you upload!
Hail from Vienna! I studied ID here, but the quality of your content is stunning compared to what I had acccess to! I'm watching all your history series and greatly appreciating the connections you make to the mindsets of the time, the economical conditions, business needs, social factors, personal branding, technology constraints etc. I had this quality of class, but only for art history, done by a great historian lady in her 80s on a double slide projector in a jam packed auditorium! I loved these lectures, they felt a bit like the Indiana Jones teaching in "Raiders of the lost Ark" 😊 anyway thank you for putting this out for all of us 🙏 I secretly hope you will have the time to do all 12 weeks online 😊
Thanks! I know the type of teacher you describe and am honored to be in the same club!
Me too
Looking up “Raymond Loewy” I found your video/classes. Fabulous and I’ll review the others. First day at CSULB as a Junior in Mfg Eng’g, I walked to upper campus and happened on the displays of the ID Dept. My head exploded w/delight. Having 2 yrs invested in Eng’g, ID would be my next degree. Bought Loewy’s 2nd book at college book sale blowout, and recently purchased a signed Avanti print - you depicted. Combining the 2 educations has its advantages. Appreciate the depth of your coverage.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH 😁
Great video I have some of his well designed furniture for Mengel
excellent research and presentation.
Very interesting video !!
I was wondering how Loewy was able to start a design firm right before the depression and have success. He sold the idea of generating sales through design. Is this the birth of consumerism? Sounds like it.
Let's also remember the iconic 1964 (64° angle) Coast Guard racing stripe.
The visual emotional reaction for those on the water is always priceless. It's either good or bad.🤣
Many other nations have now copied versions of the "Racing Stripe".
amazing lecture, thanks!
Nice job weaving in the story of Time Magazine cover and the role of Loewy's PR person (a woman) who was instrumental in promoting him and his work. Love this as I do all of your lectures.
Don't tell anyone I said so, but I don't think a single one of this big deal designers would have gotten anywhere without the many many women who did all the work behind the scenes....
I wish I lived in USA so I could go to your university and hear the lectures myself :c
People think it's difficult to make symmetrical models in 1990's, think about the temples in India that had perfect symmetry which are sculpted out of stone and are made in a huge scale, all my respect to the Temple Builders
Videos are cool
1953... Do I get extra credit? Beautiful car. slightly rejected early on by Americans for looking too European. One of my many Favorites...... Great video. I think more time should be spent in the 30's. The most prolific time for car design and he was in the mix.
Please make one correction on the 1949. Designed in 49, but it is a 1950model year. I would also not call it just a champion because of the commander and land cruiser models.
The Avanti is also a reused design from the 1957 Lowey BMW concept car. I think he was able to be so fast, because he had a radical design in his back pocket. These are different than the early avanti designs which makes me think he knew all along what the car would become. Studebaker also make the avanti 63, and 64. American production of Studebaker ends in 64 but continues in Canada until 66. The Avanti was sold and started production again in late 60's and continued off and on until early 2000's.
Esso STILL Exists in Canada.
