Modern Design is nothing more than a stem of modernism which showcases how humans can create and modify their environment. What bigger modification can be attributed to man kind than the modification of our own bodies through human evolution? Although autonomous in nature, the realization of this alteration from beginning to end is what gave artists throughout the western world a scientific example to reason many artistic alterations that would previously have been cast as inconceivable failures.
I know that was a little bit wordy, so let me dissect my point.
For an idea as drastic as human evolution to be taken seriously in the time of Darwin it would have been common to donate to the church in exchange for their public support. This route would have worked magnificently for Darwin if it weren't for the fact that his idea went directly against the teachings of the church. And since the Church was the only establishment with this power, it was simply not an option.
The only route Darwin could take would be to challenge the teachings of the church, while offering hundreds of examples of fossil evidence to maintain his integrity. This constant challenging of establishment by Darwin was a shock to the world. No one was ready for it. Even 200 years after his studies there are still conflicting view points, and the church still has not changed its teachings.
This is where we can connect Darwin to Modern Design. The disruption of flow from common thought by introducing empowering ideas that are hard to accept for the average person. It takes an open mind to connect variables that have never been connected before. It takes effort to build the bridges between the ideas, to view what has never been seen, and to think what has never been thought. And I truly believe that without the astronomical proportions of the connected thoughts from Darwin- many thoughts since would never have been thought, many bridges never built, And many sights never seen.
