I would argue that every act has a context. The issue isthe designer's
intention regarding the context and how does he/she recognize/ articulate,
or modify it in order to frame/understand what they do regarding it. To me
design is the intentional determination and development of context and to do
"research" without an objective is playing without the capacity to recognize
success or failure. The outcome of play must be contextualized if it is to
be valued.
