Which can be queried to seek its genealogy, why is it the way it is? Food is culture. Culture is the ways of a people. And here we have a package - a bundle - that can be opened to reveal. Design seen as a bundle - a thing holding secrets - can reveal the cultural construct.

Can be answered in any number of ways. While many would like to give you a definition of Design or Industrial Design. I think that would be wrong.

In practice however the designer is the 'artist' in that manufacturing ecology. The place is teeming with expertise; engineers, shop floor technicians and a whole host of design engineers.

Learner Centered Design EducationHow do you design a course?If you believe that the class is not one uniform mass that needs one inoculation jab. If you permit yourself to trust the students to educate themselves. If you are willing to spend twice, nay four times, as long doing the things you could have done in much less time. Then you need to find out who else does it this way. Who else is focussed upon what students can let themselves become. And when you find your answer. Cherish it. It will give you meaning.
