Actions require actors and objects to which actions are directed. The actors are the active elements, the things that make possible and support the verb, and the verb’ s actions are perceived by the things the action is acting on, the flows the direct complements.
This reflection is important because the main questions designers have to ask themselves are, what does object design mean? Am I designing objects?
Objects design means a lot, and the designer has to focus on a specific meaning, it is, has to think about the sense is giving to the word and of course, to the design action. A designer can design the objective, the thing that is going to support an existing action or the things to which those actions are directed. The three possibilities conduct the designer to different conceptual spaces and towards different types of solutions.
If designer is designing the support for a given action, is designing subjects, nouns, substantives, actors. If designer is designing the objective, a new action, is designing new approaches, new ways to do something( the designer could be imagining new adverbs for an action, or creating new verbs), is dreaming, is desiring. Finally, if the designer is designing the flows, the things that the actions are directed to, is designing new uses for a known actor, principle, or effect.
There are more approaches to these definitions. In spite of which sense the designer is giving to the“ object”, he / she is always designing a subject. If designer is using the first sense, it is clear that the verb’ s supporter must be a subject. In the third case, the flow, the direct complement in a sentence is always a substantive, a noun, an object, a subject.
The third sense is a little bit more complex to analyze. Actions are impossible without a subject. Always, a new action implies a new actor or a new way to use the same actor. It is impossible to separate the actor of the action and vise versa.
