Description

The study of the discipline of design, understood as designation for a purpose, demands an enquiry into the principles that govern its operation. A general theory of design process: aim, possibility, act and fulfilment. Each of these is investigated within the context of the human life that is to be served and the world order that forms the backdrop to the this life. The role of 'ideas' in design is discussed in relation to the process of analysis and synthesis that is fundamental to designing.
