This book presents a broad design purview within the framework of âpre-design, design, and post-designâ by focusing on the âmotive of design,â which implies an underlying reason for the design of a product. The chapters are comprised of papers based on discussions at the âDesign Research Leading Workshopâ held in Nara, Japan, in 2013. This book encourages readers to enhance and expand their thinking within a widened design perspective.
