  The point of design is to improve the periphery of experience by whatever metric the designer sees as being relevant.

  Sadly, a lot of the world confuses such metrics with the gaudy hyperrealities of consumerism.

  • Whence 'aesthetics', then?detritus
  • Because design is a "sensory" "art". Emotions, values, judgements, taste. Thense aesthetics.Khurram
