Sažetak
A historical overview of theoretical concepts on design practice (both as method and the final result of the process) points to the fact that virtually the entire history of the discipline has been characterized by a conceptual reflection on its social and technological viability that strives to “see” the future and be flexible as a platform for design practice. If this is relevant, if the creation of something new comprehends the cognitive basis of design quality seen within the process of creating or using the object designed/produced, throughout the user–object relationship, then are there not certain arguments in favor of the need for constant theoretical innovation in design and for design, today perhaps more than ever before in the history of industrial modernization? Theoretical and methodological discussion on design in the context of large scale and free enterprise economic systems has created a variety of stimulating critical insights and ideas. The paper reviews some of the theoretical design concepts of the past in order to look ahead to the new ones. Today, within a dynamic reflection of a given context, the value of the design profession is generally recognised ; but what kind of changes are needed for design practice today to be viable for tomorrow?
