Abstract
This positioning paper reflects personal experiences and
considerations related to design research and theories. The
multiple object of design theory is pointed out and the possible
research questions related to these multiple aspects. The
complexity leads to need for simplification, linking together and
unification, but we also need a metric: what is a good theory? An
important theory dimension in synthesis is the artefact theory,
leading to the question of a design language. Such a language
might be the core of a universal design theory.
