What is history in a Modernist framing? What is its significance and relevance to our design worlds today? These are basic questions but when situated within a mindful mode of interrogation, the questions can be reframed as: how can history be taught (whose history and for whom)? Which history, or histories, should be taught in schools? Does teaching history make it a tool albeit unknowingly, one which may coerce a particular way of looking at the past and thereby the present? Is there a singular history, one that is written and re-written and then used for pedagogy?
