Dear Erik and all,
this is a list I was really expecting....
But in line with Klaus Krippendorff /The semantic turn (2006),/ where
he said/:/
/"Design is making sense of things" /I am missing:
Roland Barthes,
Jean Baudrillard,
Pierre Bourdieu,
Umberto Eco,
Jürgen Habermas,
Tillmann Habermas,
Hans-Peter Hahn,
Charles Jencks,
Helene Karmasin,
Carl Eric Linn,
Michael & Katherine McCoy,
Rune Monö,
Wim Muller,
Andries van Onck,
Deyan Sudjic,
Susan Vihma
John A. Walker
and some others more.
These are really useful for design theory, in the sense of Nigel Cross,
that Design "is becoming a discipline".
Yours
Bernhard____
