On Design
I am interested in exploring design practices, and theoretical discourses on design coming from fields as diverse as engineering, software, industrial, organizational, molecular, and architecture, among others. My main goal is to see what can make a design more effective, valuable, or economic.

The Most Simple I can
Designing is about the articulation of what is missing in a particular space of social practices; the visualizations of the unity that may fill the void; the definiton of its key components; the definition of the assemblers and interphases that link the artifact itself and it with the whole.Design is about prototyping and discovering. Most of the time, the artifact is radically re-evaluated by the social practices in which it shows up.
Design principles are shaped by the historical imperative of its epoch.
Successful designs open up a new world and make the designed artifact transparent.
