This is irresistible.
Isn’t undesign what this List have been doing for several years now?
Isn’t undesign Design of its more inherent characteristics the essence of PhD Design since Design research has been consistently canibalised by other research disciplines?
Stripping Design from drawings, stripping Design from authors, stripping design from designers, stripping design from the strive for beauty (or aesthetical perception) inherent to Art, isn’t all this, really, undesign?

Interesting proposition.
But isn't the answer to your question merely one of Howe you define design?
I wished I could participate in this discussion but I am booked.

Undesign
Symposium
2 June 2016
University of the Arts Vienna
Heiligenkreuzer Hof, Refektorium, Schönlaterngasse 5, 1010 Vienna, Austria
What does it mean when the outcome of a design process is the decision not to produce an object? Is this a design decision? How can designers work outside the narrow constraints of the profession and deal with real world issues? Is design for behaviour change an appropriate tool and what are the limitations of this approach? How might ‘undesign’ processes be used as a medium through which to investigate a design issue?
This symposium explores new and emergent critical positions in design through the concept of 'undesign'. Led by a panel of international designers and design researchers, the symposium takes the concept of ‘undesigning’ to mean reducing, simplifying, removing or eliminating design (and complexity). Building on the tradition of critical design, it aims to uncover and examine new functions for contemporary design.
Speakers: Marloes ten Bhömer, Jochen Eisenbrand, Francisco Laranjo, Ramia Mazé, Sarah Owens, Catharine Rossi, Thomas Thwaites, Maiko Tsutsumi
The symposium is convened by Björn Franke for the Department of History and Theory as part of the FWF Research Project "Émigré Design Networks and the Founding of Social Design," led by Alison J. Clarke.
