Typewritten paper, read by Francis Lorne at the Glasgow School of Art, concerning the relationship between designers, manufacturers, and schools of art. Lorne describes the reluctance of the three groups to co-operate and envisages a closer relationship to combat Britain’s declining status following the First World War. With regard to schools and academies, Lorne - a former student at the Glasgow School of Art - encourages the design of useful products rather than the recreation of existing styles with no connection to life. With regard to architecture, Lorne protests the imitation past styles - and also the imitation of continental Modernism without respect for unique local conditions. In setting out his vision for the future, he encourages the use of industrial methods and mass production, but calls for increased responsibility of the artist to create works fitting for the industrial age. Through the marrying of designers, manufacturers and schools of art, Lorne describes the possiblity of a 'design for our own time.' The paper is published in: Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland Quarterly, no. 46, 1935, pp. 5-16.
