✦ Synopsis

A notion of designing as disclosure is developed and examined. The conception is developed around elements of impulsion, signification, metaphor, structure, connections and understanding. These elements play together in a reflective process (conversation) of signification and experimentation. Designing as disclosure is then examined relative to non-disclosure-based and alternative disclosure-based conceptions of design. This particular conception highlights the need for a move in design education to a greater focus on experience, discourse and ethics; the potential to apply the design process as an analytical tool in business; and supports the development of visual design devices as new forms of knowledge representation.
