Dear all,
I'm writing a text and preparing a course in Design Theory and would be glad
to hear opinions, comments and ideas of the members of this list.
I think that design never had a theoretical corpus of its own, although it
made use of some theories borrowed from other fields, like the gestalt from
psychology. I also recognize a great value over the Product Language Theory.
Besides this, in the last decades, with the advent of the post-modern and
the concept of the end of the great narratives, even those theories were
questioned. My question is, which theories would you think are still valid
in design teaching nowadays?
Thank you and best wishes,
