Humans did not discover fire—they designed it. Design is not defined by software programs, blueprints, or font choice. When we create new things—technologies, organizations, processes, systems, environments, ways of thinking—we engage in design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith this expansive view of design as their premise, in \u003cem\u003eThe Design Way\u003c\/em\u003e Harold Nelson and Erik Stolterman make the case for design as its own culture of inquiry and action. They offer not a recipe for design practice or theorizing but a formulation of design culture's fundamental core of ideas.
