Dear Birget, Glenn and Lily,
Just wondering how you feel the discussion applies to engineering designers?
My interest is because engineering designers (the several hundred varieties
of) dominate the design field in many ways (financially, size of projects,
volume of design literature, longest history of design study, largest number
of methods, largest amount of design research undertaken, etc). Much of the
design expertise in engineering design is more closely linked to mathematical
modes of representation than drawing (even when undertaking drawing) and I
wonder about laying so much emphasis on visual aesthetic skill or drawing,
particularly in relation to defining a core term such as 'design'.
Best wishes,
Terry
