what is design?
- describe something that is supposed to be built in the (near) future- as designers, we try to describe it as if it already existed- how can you describe existing objects / buildings ?- how can you describe existing objects / buildings ?- social sciences : ontologies and semantics

how does it work
- “ontos” + “logos” : “the study of how things are”- assumes a transcendent reality, an overall “truth” behind the world, that can be described- you describe this reality as if you know how it really ‘was’, ‘is’ or ‘will be’‘is’ or ‘will be’

how does it work?
- “semantikous” : “the study of giving signs (meaning) in language”
- assumes that certain concepts are only known through the interpretation by people through a certain context- you describe reality through meaning and interpretations- you describe reality through meaning and interpretations
