Design in my view is a behavior and not a department. By this I mean Design may be the manner we target and achieve a particular requirement. This requirement can be a function, aesthetics, creating faster or slower means of achieving a goal, etc. I think its is about a wholesome planning..even a war tactic or a cricket match to be played could also be called as a design. It depends when you should follow the system or old school method and when should you give an awe & shock....!!!
And like any other planning in Design we need both system and randomness. Systematic designs helps us to create a macro level planning. Using the information what we know or going back to the past experiences, records etc, we are able to chart out a stable plan ( which seems stable at least). This is done such that we are able to dispense information easily to all who are working on the concept. Well system kind of helps to have linked thinking ....
But if you look at a micro level and expect each individual to follow the same flowchart at micro level too. You may end up getting the same idea from all the teams. A complete system may be the root cause of design stagnation. A sytem might minimize the chance of having a bigger range of Permutations & combinations...
That is why we have devised tools in design-
For example
Brain storming- a technique where different minds apply random thought to project the image of a single unit in different ways
In product design we have something called material research... within this research we study about the material as well as apply random techniques on material to check new innovations.
Scribbling or Doodling methods are random techniques to come up with innovative concepts in design
Sampling is that part of statistical practice concerned with the selection of an unbiased or random subset of individual observations within a population
A hypothesis is a tentative statement that proposes a possible explanation to some phenomenon or event. A hypothesis is random until it is proven correct.
There are lot more of such examples of random act. A random act may not be unsystematic but definitely doesn't trudge upon a old stereotypes of strict systems.
History says most of the innovations has happened by accident, which is a random process. Most of the dreams which historian and scientist had seen which was called random at that point of time is a reality today. Orvil & Wilbur Right for Aeroplanes, telephone & cell technology, Microwave etc.
A handicraft in Indian scenario is more expensive than an industrial product that is being sold in the market simply because the handicarft product has more randomness in terms of design and craftmanship...A design created in Handicraft has almost zero percent probability that it can be copied, hence it becomes a unique product.
Well to me design is not a stereotype system..it is only the planning part which may need system but if u are talking about creativity...design is "THINKING OUT OF THE BOX".... now isnt that pretty random!!!!
