communities and within various discourse matters; the study of that discourse therefore is an important and elementary part of this work. Design discourse may not even happen with text or spoken language. Design discourse may happen through images and drawings as well as with objects, which need to be studied as well, since the discourse matter, or the carrying media, can change in regards to the community within which the discourse ismaintained.
This was not always the case, according to Emilo Ambasz
(1969), who complained about environmental design lacking a basic
discourse of its own. The absence of such a discourse leads to the
development of disparate terminologies and theories of design methodology
now being developed in isolation one from the other (Ambasz,1969).
Therefore the research encompasses as well an analysis of the discourse
on what design is and how it is maintained by various communities:
designers of various kinds, design scientists, design theorists, design
historians, scientists who research about design, scientists working within the domain of design and scientists who design theory as well. Parallel or subdiscourses will be a helpful focus in exploring our subject matter.

Motivated by the immature theoretical framework of design, this thesis employs transdisciplinary discourse to provide a contemporary and forward-looking model of design and design theory, as well as the linkages between the two, along with the necessary methodology. The discourse involves research into the current understanding of design, its principles, its practice and conceptual framework. The methodology developed and employed in this thesis can be outlined in five steps: 0. Design briefing
1. Developing a conceptual model based on the writings of Michel Foucault and Klaus Krippendorff.
2. Presenting the model in a written form.
3. Using accounts of conferences as tools for Designing Design and building monuments.
4. Interrogating the theory through an expert system.
5. Summarizing and evaluating the findings.
