What is design?

Many definitions exist but my own is simply:

‘planning the outcome’

Example

My first answer was "so that things don't happen by accident."

Understanding the user’s actual needs, anticipating their future or hidden needs and ensuring they have deep satisfaction with the designed product or service is the key to sustainable design.

Good design begins with the user’s requirements and shapes the product or service to take into account what is affordable, useful, accessible, sustainable and pleasurable.

Why is design important?

The Bauhaus

The Bauhaus was founded in 1919 in the city of Weimar by German architect Walter Gropius (1883–1969). Its core objective was a radical concept: to reimagine the material world to reflect the unity of all the arts. Gropius explained this vision for a union of art and design in the Proclamation of the Bauhaus (1919), which described a utopian craft guild combining architecture, sculpture, and painting into a single creative expression. Gropius developed a craft-based curriculum that would turn out artisans and designers capable of creating useful and beautiful objects appropriate to this new system of living.
