"Design is Thought", claims Peter Noever, trying to release the term from the tight semantic boundaries of product design. He says, design is a utopian term that describes the universal principle of creating and recreating, the continuous process of change. Turmoil. Revolution. Anarchy. Design evokes the idea of a radically different scheme of the world – from the ladle to the construct of metropolis.
