Design Theory can be seen as knowledge that can liberate the designer from preconceived notions and conceptions of how the design process can and should be performed.
Liberation is not enough, however. As a designer you might also need help in creating order and meaning in a complex world. This can be doneby making the comples less complex by organizing , structuring and categorizing. Hence we identify a second purpose of the design theory - to finction as a conceptual toolthat will help us create some kind of order in a chaotic world of practice.
Design Theory is also knowledge focused on creating new conditions for design, different patterns of thinking and acting , new design examples, and a general understanding of the conditions for creative and innovative work.
Well, there are many different definitions and understandings of what design theory is and what it should be.
