What versus How
What versus How - chicken or the egg?
which is more important, which comes first:
1. What you do? or...
2. How you do it?
Innovation is not only based on inventing new objects (question of What), but inventing a new way of doing the old things (question of How). This new way of doing - the How, if successfully executed (the ability to provide convenience to generate enough desires for it to become a necessity), will eventually generate the new objects and contents associated with the What.
Ex: The web changes how our everyday tasks are done traditionally using an instant globally-networked platform. Consequently new objects are invented such as blogs, emails, Google earth, facebook, ebay, etc - creating new jobs, and responsibilities (the "What").
There is already enough "What" out there, now it is the "How" that becomes more important.

Design in the Age of Expression
How will design...
"Manage abundance, not scarcity"* - We over I, challenges from open-source anonymous designers
"Make mistakes well"* - question of multidiscipline, challenge design itself to breach boundaries
"Give up control"* - response to customization, user desired design, user driven design, allow feedback loop
"Get out of the way"* - bottom up/outside-in over top down/inside out authorship (survival versus evolution)
"Offer lower prices (free is better)"* - competition, mass-customization & fabrication over construction
Design will become a platform serves to establish its survival (via designers) while nurture natural evolution (via inhabitants).
Design need the ability to amass, filter, and synthesis info into logically innovative cultural values.

Who says what design is?
"Who says what design is ?" - Eric Owen Moss
Everyone, therefore it is "What says who design is?" that matters.
Simply put: "What is design?"
Design is an interface that stands between an idea and people;
thus the process of communicating that idea is designed.
It is intention,
it is language,
it is meaning,
it is value,
it is conversation,
it is art,
it is fiction,
it is computation,
it is brand,
it is business,
It is manufacturing of convenience and necessity
it is synergy between Left & Right Brain….
… thus it is innovative logic,
and thus it is entrepreneurial management.
Good design create an audience using an idea, and in doing so, establishes value and meaning.
創意 就是創造有形與無形中的含意
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
So "What says who design is ?"
Anything is designable,
and thus everything could be designed.
