An interesting reading on design and how important and relevant it is in our life. It discusses what design is, the historical evolution, its utility and significance, and much more.
Defining design is something that many attempt to do in different ways. This particular reading addresses that fact of confusion, and states that it has several levels of meaning. Such as in the silly, yet grammatically correct sentence, "Design is to design a design to produce a design".
One definition it states that I particularly like is: "design, stripped to its essence, can be defined as the human capacity to shape and make our environment in ways without precedent in nature, to serve our needs and give meaning to our lives".
