Design as process of Hypostatisation/Reification

Not so much because we can think we do. But we do we think, I think. But lameness aside, I have to say that I have been thinking what does creative process mean to me, or better, what it means to design.

Design is a goal specific task, and it is preoccupied with the object at hand. This object, can be improved, and is this process of improvement/experimentation that we call design. It requires research, planning, thinking, and prototyping in different scales and or materials. This path is cyclical and requires also it recording, classification and archival.

The final process is the culmination of a cumulative process of iterations based on the cyclical improvement, and process based decision making. Its about opening path of exploration, and continuous decision making.

This rant is mostly for me, as I have kind of managed found some sort of sense to this, that I have been scratching my head about. It is of a huge difficulty to bring the idea of criticality into this process, since it so object oriented it manages to scape many implicit relationships of being, and the ones that establishes.

I whizwish to think that this process can grow in time, with the idea of control.

Control equals design, and for that matter it marries power so well.

To design the non-designable is a brief in itself, and requires almost inevitably the forgetting of design. It a bit of a too obvious paradox. There is no investigation of the formal, and no formal outcome for that matter.

If you find yourself in this position, you are no designer.
