The history of the Department
The history of design studies at AAAD traces its roots to the School of Art in Zlín, which was founded on the initiative of the Baťa footwear manufacturing company in 1939. It was the first school in the then Czechoslovakia dedicated to industrial design and advertising graphic design and it employed several important Czech artists, the most renowned of which was the sculptor Vincenc Makovský (1900-1966), who is rightfully regarded as the founder of Czech design.
