5. Argument 1. by the biologist, Jakob von Uexküll.
Animals are limited into each of
the Umwelt.
Umwelt means the environment which is
perceived by the Sensory system unique to the
species respectively.
6. Argument 2. by the philosopher, Martin Heidegger.
Although animals are in the
environment which is given,
humans have to design their
own world.
The german word, Dasein means ‘being-in-the-world’.
The author implies that Dasein is Design(er).
7. Today’s exploration of human openness is ……
- Wikipedia, the open dictionary.
- MP3, the open(-source) audio compression.
- FabLab, the open design movement.
8. From Bits to Atoms.
- by 3D printer.
- by laser cutter.
- by milling machine, etc.
9. Then, the question is re-set to……
Does FabLab lose the profession
of (old-type) designer ?
10. Now, we can concrete the initial answer “Metadesigner”.
Metadesigner is the designer
who shapes environments in
which unskilled users can design.
- to the parametric design via GUI.
- to the inclusive design.
11. Image of Metadesign
DATABASE } Metadesign(er)
(Mass)Customization
MATERIAL OBJECTS } Old-type
Design(er)
12. However, there are 4 problems about making
(not digital data but) physical objects.
- its cost, or its difficulty to share.
- people’s motivation to make things.
- cloudsourcing can fall in folly of the crowds.
- about moral - What should NOT be created.
13. “Although we have to take these
problems seriously, they should
not lead to the conclusion that
we should avoid further
development of open design.”
14. Design Theory (Ambient Media)
REDESIGNING DESIGN / JOS DE MUL
REDESIGNING “REDESIGNING DESIGN”

15. I agree with the philosophical basement
- Uexküll and Heidegger -
of Open design, but partly.
18. Kokubun coined the word……
Inter-Umwelt Mobility.
People have Umwelt too,
but they can move one from another;
animals can also (partly) do.
19. Do people start to design soon
after preparing ‘environment’ ?
Too emphasizing human’s openness to new
environment can fall in forgetting that
design is NOT easy.
20. Only after recognizing hard to
create the new environment, we
can start to think Metadesign
- as the design education.
