Papanek matizó posteriormente su definición:

“Design is the conscious and intuitive effort to impose meaningful order.

It is only in recent years that to add the phrase "and intuitive" seemed crucial to my definition of design. Consciousness implies intellectualization, cerebration, research and analysis. The sensing/feeling part of the creative process was missing from my original definition. Unfortunately intuition itself is difficult to define as a process or ability. Nonetheless it affects design in a profound way.”
