Authorship 0

Which paragraph is most relevant to your own topic?

For me...

"(Michael Rock) points out, unarguably, that the few clear examples of design authorship are the exception rather than the rule.... He proposes three alternatives - designer as translator, designer as performer, designer as director - as better models to describe the processes usually involved in design activity." (p147)

..since it seems to hint at a way forward for design that does not necessary involve designer as author (star) but does expand the role and give freedom to move within that role. I think we talked one week about technology as freeing designers expand their role / profession / responsibilities.
