Aim
Design is a creative activity whose aim is to establish the multi-faceted
qualities of objects, processes, services and their systems in whole
life-cycles. Therefore, design is the central factor of innovative humanisation
of technologies and the crucial factor of cultural and economic exchange.
Tasks
Design seeks to discover and assess structural, organisational, functional,
expressive and economic relationships, with the task of:
+ Enhancing global sustainability and environmental protection (global ethics)
+ Giving benefits and freedom to the entire human community, individual and
collective
+ Final users, producers and market protagonists (social ethics)
+ Supporting cultural diversity despite the globalisation of the world
(cultural ethics)
+ Giving products, services and systems, those forms that are expressive of
(semiology) and coherent with (aesthetics) their proper complexity.
Design
concerns products, services and systems conceived with tools, organisations and
logic introduced by industrialisation not just when produced by serial
processes. The adjective "industrial" put to design must be related
to the term industry or in its meaning of sector of production or in its
ancient meaning of "industrious activity". Thus, design is an
activity involving a wide spectrum of professions in which products, services,
graphics, interiors and architecture all take part. Together, these activities
should further enhance in a choral way with other related professions the
value of life.
Therefore, the term designer refers to an individual who practices an
intellectual profession, and not simply a trade or a service for enterprises.

2. Paulo Parra:
Enquanto metodologia, o
design é um extraordinário instrumento universal de trabalho; como factor de
desenvolvimento é uma poderosa ferramenta na conquista da competitividade das
economias; como disciplina construtiva e actividade criativa é o mais recente
domínio eficaz de afirmação da diversidade cultural, pela capacidade que a
disciplina tem de integrar com naturalidade a tradição num processo que
persegue a inovação na construção da contemporaneidade.

3. Kenji Ekuan:
Design is a process of turning people's ideas into forms.
Transforming the invisible into the visible, design is also the operation of
turning mental, social and spiritual entities into physical ones. Design is the
process of the human creation of new realities. However, this assumes a
thorough knowledge of the qualities and effects of the material world. Good
design is the result of an excellent idea going into a good form, an excellent
immaterial entity going into a good material one. Creating reality is always a
synthetic activity, and the result must be beautiful.
