Dear Jurgen,
There are many situations and contexts in design theory and design research
in which the idea of design as a discourse are irrelevant, a fallacious
diversion and not helpful.
Why do you want to define design as discourse?
Best regards,
Terry

Subject: design as discourse
Hi All,
I recently finished a very important research to define contemporary design
approaches but I looked
into more historical documents as well and then I realized also state that
design is discourse as
Krippendorf or Sarkinnen didas well.
And when I studied Foucault design is discourse is also a sustainable
statement as well from the
Foucault perspective reading some parts of the Archeology. Because the
textual matter changes, but
a discourse is observable also when the discourse community changes.
My question here is, does anybody have an idea where design as a discourse
isn't defendable?
