Some people … say design is about solving problems. Obviously designers do solve problems, but then so do dentists. Design is about cultural invention. There are some people who want to reduce the domain of design to listable, knowable stuff, so it’s easy to talk about. Design is a glamorous, glittering world and this means they can engage without having to actually risk themselves on the outcome of their work. This is damaging. It turns design into something terrified of invention. Design is about risk.
From an interview with Jack Schulze, co-founder of the highly influential studio Berg—a group of designers completely unafraid of the word “invention”. Interview responses #5 and #6 are pure gold. (via craightonberman)
