Dear all,
reading Keith and Kathryn's conversation (reductively, I know !)
Cultural symbols – Design is poetic, it can be geometric or free form process
Normative concepts – Designing textiles is visceral, embodied, natural, mysterious, enveloping, generative, emergent,
Political and social institutions – Design refers to English literature, art, architecture - elevated, not elementary education
Subjective identity – designers are poets, the voice we listen to, skilled but not ‘expert’

Subject: Re: The Design Domain
Dear all
the only context for Design is the HUMAN..Without human entity [tangible,
intangible) there is no design.
So Design for me is the mind art of analyzing the best fit of human into
the socio-cultural-economic-technological environment promoting the
ongoing change of humanity's perception for the humans capacities beyond
limits.
Best
