What do you mean that wasn’t on the design brief? New perspectives about the brief in the design process through Actor-Network Theory lenses

Regarding the design brief, there is a mismatch between what design studies posit about it and how the design process is, in fact, conducted. While the design brief is commonly understood as a tool to uncover problems and guide the development, design studies often describe a diffuse and non-linear...
