Bonjour Danielle

You wrote that you are initiating a research project on "what values should
be taken into consideration when defining a design policy for Canada."

I too reflected on this same topic some 30-40 years ago. But at this moment
I can't commit myself to actively and regularly take part in your research,
only occasionally if and when needed. My contribution will be in the sense
of devising a design policy focusing more on use value of artifacts, instead
of the currently more highlighted market exchange value.

More on use value in: The SIP System: A Design Research Concept at the Paris
Centre Beaubourg, 1973-1992. Design Issues: Volume 26, Number 4 Autumn 2010,
pp. 57-70.

Bonne chance !
