Abstract

The Cox report, a research conducted by the Design Council of Great Britain and published in 2005, defines design as: "what links creativity and innovation. It shapes ideas into practical and attractive propositions for users or customers. Design can be described as creativity employed for a specific purpose".

Today, design is opening up to other possibilities not previously considered. This does not mean, however, denying the industrial nature of design, which can and should collaborate in redefining the very concept of industry. In any case, it must be admitted that we are in a period of necessary change for all areas and fields of design, caused fundamentally by the social and economic situation in which it currently has to develop, although without losing sight of the fact that the discipline began to question its own paradigms, especially in the last thirty years of the twentieth century.
