i wrote about that in 1995: http://repository.upenn.edu/asc_papers/46
and was invited to do something similar three years later: http://repository.upenn.edu/asc_papers/227
i have also written about redesigning design in "the semantic turn; a new foundation for design."
i have been arguing for some time that design research should not be limited to doing research in support of a particular design, rather, it should also inquire into the successes and failures of design processes and evaluate the methods used to generate designs. when the results of such inquiries are applied to improve the efficiency and conceptualization of design processes, we redesign design.
what is patently obvious is that redesigning design takes place in language. what is reflexively improved in the design discourse is how designers talk about design, about the methods for researching and designing things and especially communicating design methods in design education.

Subject: redesigning design: references
Dear all,
What are the key references that show, or argue, that design itself needs to be redesigned, and for the significance thereof?
Thank you,
Stanislav
