1. Modern Design One can interpret that this is the use of 'modern' Raizman uses in our textbook in two ways:

a) One could find it by process of elimination. It can't be the colloquial definition because he doesn't and can't talk about 'recent times' and keep the text modern for the student because the times are constantly changing and by not trying to keep up on up-to-date designers and designs, Raizman can keep the textbook in good form so it can apply the same knowledge to each student without having a dated aire to it.
Also, it cannot be the Modern Design Movement he refers to because he refers to much more than the 1930s on [which is the only time period available when referring to the modern design movement].

b) As seen in the first few chapters, the introduction and as constantly referred to in later chapters, the IR sparked all modern design (see, in Raizmans Introduction, 'What makes design "modern"' for further proof of this!
