Perhaps this designerly-production in techne is a special kind of thinking, that we have lost sight of?
Design-thinking in techne becomes a way to attend to, or to think, the awesome?

Thankyou everyone for all your remarks
There's the suggestion that when Heidegger talks about "techne" it's not about mere skillful doing, but, like the ancient greeks (Aristotle included), its more than that. In its excellent form, techne includes a kind of thinking, perhaps designerly, prior to and during the production of what one crafts.
And in that ?designing? production something awesome shows.
Sounds crude, of course, to use the word "awesome". Kids say everything is awesome. But I think in the original greek experience, when things are done well, we are shown something awesome. I wonder what precisely that is? I suspect it could be something normative.
The other thing is, for the longest time, we speak of Aristotle's first principles as self evident, but if it is true that the original meaning was mistranslated (from Greek to Latin - per se nota) into the static notion of the evident, the original ought to have meant something like "gleaming". I am getting this from Richard Capobianco's readings of Heidegger. So the practical first principles, say, ought to be spoken of not as self-evident, but perhaps, self-gleaming, showing us something awesome and hence very compelling.
Perhaps also, in techne, and in skillful designing-crafting-production, such self-gleaming truths show.

I find some of this self contradicting.
One is about embodied knowledge and the other is the usage 'knowing by being'
