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 .
