Abstract

At least since the sixties, there have been many attempts to understand the logic of design, when the latter is broadly understood as a purposeful way of realising an artefact. In this paper, I shall explore current methodologies to see how they may be adapted to cases in which what is being designed is information and uncertainty, in the sense of both a semantic artefact (e.g. a train timetable) and a communication process (e.g. the announcement that a specific train is leaven form particular platform).
