Design for social innovation is everything that expert design can do to activate, sustain and orient processes of social change towards sustainability.

Ezio Manzini, 2003

[joshuahoering]

This human-centered design revolution is causing us to rethink the design process. In order to drive the human-centered design revolution, we need to tap into the imaginations and dreams not only of designers, but also of everyday people. New design spaces are emerging in response to everyday people’s needs for creativity.

Liz Sanders, 1999

Design has no subject matter — that’s what make this a powerful discipline. We MAKE our subject matter

Richard Buchanan, 1992

[joshuahoering]

The reflective practitioner allows himself to experience surprise, puzzlement, or confusion in a situation which he finds uncertain or unique. He reflects on the phenomenon before him, and on the prior understandings which have been implicit in his behavior. He carries out an experiment which serves to generate both a new understanding of the phenomenon and a change in the situation.

Donald Schön, 1983

[joshuahoering]

Everyone can — and does — design. We all design when we plan for something new to happen, whether that might be a new version of a recipe, a new arrangement of the living room furniture, or a new lay tour of a personal web page. [...] So design thinking is something inherent within human cognition; it is a key part of what makes us human.

Nigel Cross, 1982

[joshuahoering]

Design must be an innovative, highly creative, cross-disciplinary tool responsive to the needs of men. It must be more research-oriented, and we must stop defiling the earth itself with poorly-designed objects and structures.

Victor Papanek, 1971

[joshuahoering]

Everyone designs who devises courses of action aimed at changing existing situations into preferred ones.

Herbert Simon, 1969

[joshuahoering]

Design Science is ... the effective application of the principles of science to the conscious design of our total environment in order to help make the Earth’s finite resources meet the needs of all humanity without disrupting the ecological processes of the planet

Buckminster Fuller, 1956
