Our first team meeting.

The idea of the Industrial Revolution became hot topic. Although we where not around when the Industrial Revolution was at its high point, we can see the great effects of which it made in today society.

The Industrial Revolution started in the 18th century which carried all the way through to the 19th century. It had a huge effect on the cultural and socioeconomics conditions. The Industrial Revolutions spread though out United Kingdom, Europe, North America and then the rest of the world, every aspect of society had changed. With the Industrial Revolution brought machined based manufacturing. It started with textiles, then the development of iron-making and refined coal. They built steam engines which was a huge help with the railways and mine workings. This also had a huge effect of the agriculture allowing for faster ploughing and less middle man cost, because of the less people they need for seed distribution. With the Industrial Revolution came canals, and mainly the factory's and buildings being built in rows and columns.

We discussed looking in to both women's and men's wear. We also came up with questions to looking in to. What clothes did they wear?, What was the architecture like and can this be Incorporated in to the design?, look at the colour contrast between the countryside and urban side. We also talked about looking at transport and how it evolved. Our promoters discussed in class how the title industrial revolution was to direct and and needed to be broader. So they came up with THE ADVENT OF POWER AND MECHANIZATION, with heading as
