Abstract
This thesis examines the role that culture and geographic location play on the design process. Using historical and contemporary examples of designers who adapt their designs to their culture, as well as examples of products that have their origin imbued upon, I will argue that the implementation of cultural elements into a design makes it a stronger and more successful project.
