DMI Review Article

A National Design Policy: Of Questionable Value and Unlikely

Vol. 4, No. 3, Summer 1993

Don E. Kash, Hazel Chair of Public Policy, Institute of Public Policy, George Mason University


Among design professionals, there is certainly a consensus that the US should have a clearer and more aggressive design policy. Taking on the role of devil’s advocate, Don Kash explores problems inherent in such well-intended aspirations. In particular, he comments on the difficulties related to defining the multiple roles of design in business activities and, against a background of general policy-making issues, explains how the fragmented nature of design policy goals and constituencies makes for an elusive—and perhaps undefinable—policy target.
