The Bases of Design
1898

The Bases of Design, written by Walter Crane and first published in 1898, is a philosophical exploration of design principles that emphasizes the interconnectedness of various art forms. Crane argues for the necessity of unity in design, particularly in the face of commercial competition that has led to divisions among artistic disciplines. The book examines the origins, influences, and characteristics of design, rooting its discussion in architecture, which Crane considers the foundation of all arts. This work serves as both a technical manual and a broader inquiry into the nature of design in relation to practical needs.
