What historical moments produce design as a professional practice?

In particular, I draw an analytical comparison to the Bauhaus proposition of uniting handwork and artistic practice. The Bauhaus school called for compulsory training in artisanal workshops and confronted specialization, while industrial design work already commenced a break from handwork.

However, material participatory practice lost value until the effects of digitalization and downsizing manufacturing technologies evoked a post-modern Bauhaus idea. 

How can a contemporary phenomenon of digital fabrication / making be situated along that?
