Thinking About What Design is

The process of design is very much like that of writing- They are all about finding sense of order to things. In other words, how things fits one and another. Therefore, I always try to define design as having to do with how things fit: How furniture fits the body, how people fit in buildings, and how buildings fit the landscape. Most of all, design is about finding the sense of fit between people, place, and things. The idea of fitting covers not only the physical dimensions, but the social one as well.
