As part of my MDes Thesis research at the University of Alberta, I have launched a new website about the definition of design. It is a space dedicated to designers discussing definitions of design. It provides a brief summary of the research including key points that will contextualize the process of defining design:
- Why defining design is important
- Why designers must define design
- Types and approaches to definition
- Addressing the major critiques of the process of defining design
It demonstrates these points using two example definitions:
- Two example definitions explained
- Comparing definitions
- List of definitions of design: A categorized compilation
The website also includes information regarding a workshop based on the research.
