Abstract
Industrial design, for the most part, is about exploiting the potential of new technologies to create functional, usable and desirable products design is at the heart of future formation. Unfortunately, this process is mostly devoid of any critical or philosophical foundation. Some myths taught at design school: 1. Design is good. 2. Design makes people’s lives better. 3. Design solves problems.
