FORM AND FUNCTION IN DESIGN IN THE CONTEXT OF HISTORIC INTERACTION

Article is based on the analysis of two hypotheses. According to the first one, recurrence in design depends on cycles in art, science and technology. The research is based on the theory of cyclical evolution of society. The author proves helical development of design and dependence on cycles in development of other spheres of social life. The second hypothesis supposes that dynamics of form and function as main components of product of design have the cyclical nature too. The author assumes that studying of the regularity between earlier considered cycles and dynamics of form and function makes it possible to predict market demand for certain products of design.
