what is design? das Design

vitrūvius in 25 BC said there are 3 elements
to an architectural or engineering design:
firmitās, ūtilitās, venustās
(structure, usefulness, beauty)
and he also summarized design:
“wake up! design is all politics”

but i would extend these 3 elements 
to other design fields:
industrial, scientific, graphics, interior
doing a movie, writing a book, landscaping
sending a rocket to mars, cooking supper, vaccines
and that infamous et cetera

Andrea Palladio in 1540 read vitrūvius as:
comodità, perpetuità, bellezza
(convenience, perpetuity, beauty)
(or usefulness, strength, beauty)

Henry Wotton’s interpretation in 1624:
commodity, firmness, delight
i would summarize it as:
planning, construction, design
design is planning + structure taken to a new level:
the beauty in a space and a structure

what is your summary?

design is relative:
now it has many dimensions

universal design: 
inclusive design for many types of users

decoration is powerful or frivolous
fashion is fickle and rampant

green design for your environment
moral design for the people involved
theatrical design is performance art:
all design is performance art
all design is moral + green
technology is the design engine:
it drives the (design) world

façade design is very common and easy
historical design is common and easy
prima donna design:
the me me me style is way too common and easy
(don’t pull a Pygmalion and fall in love)

what is (your) design?
