terry,
so you see the designer as a draftsman or specification writer working
within a legal contract. and for you good design is one that complies with
legal expectations and bad design that violates legal expectation. since
this is a novel way to define design, do i understand you right?

Hi Lars,
One very simple yet powerfully useful distinction is that 'a design' is a
component of a legal contract describing the detail of part of an agreed
arrangement. A design specifies how something is to be done. The activity of
designing, design practice, is simply producing 'designs' that have this
legal role. That is also the primary difference betrween 'good' designs and
'bad' designs. They provide a response to a brief that will stand up to
legal scrutiny as a component of a contract.
Best regards,
Terry

Dear all,
A simple (and probably suicidely naïve) question: what is the difference (if
there is one) between design and innovation?
I suppose I am not the first one to ask this, but I haven’t found someone
specifically addressing the question, even though there appears to be
debates on the issue…
My hypothesis (based on Lakoff and Krippendorff) is that there is a
difference in that innovation is associated with the challenge or alteration
of some peoples “prototypes” (in the Roch sense), while design may or may
not do this. That is; design is more general than innovation. (and the step
from invention to innovation would be the process of getting people to
accept that alteration.)
Or does this just prove my pan-galactic ignorance?
/Lars
