Abstract

‘Design’ is a concept which occurs in many contexts: graphic design, engineering design, product design, corporate design, fashion design, architectural design, software design, design methods. It is not immediately obvious that a common essence underlies all these different usages. The word ‘design’ causes ambiguities because it has more than one common meaning. It can refer to a product (a sketch, a model, a plan, a designed good) or it can refer to a process (the act or practice of designing). This chapter is mainly devoted to the process of design and the paradigms underlying that process. As J. C. Jones points out:

The whole point of transformation, the central part of the design process, is to change what already exists, and this includes both theories and practices. Each should influence the other.

Jones, 1984
