Design semiotics is a science whose object is design and whose language is semiotics. In this context semiotics serves to extract the essence of design. Modern semiotics, Charles S. Peirce's semiotics in particular, made the concept of sign universal. Peirce's semiotics is universally applicable because of its way to define a Sign. According to Peirce's definition of Sign, anything can be a Sign as long as it forms a Triadic Relation-i. e. as long as it stands for something (its Object) and creates a new Sign (its Interpretant). Such universality of Peirce's semiotics is of great advantage in the explanation of design, its processes and systems. For this reason we think that semiotics is well suited to extract a model of design thinking. We will find that the usefulness of semiotics to design science consists in its function to shedlight on the process of human thinking and to correlate the conceptual aspects of design. Fundamentally it can be said that Peirce's Triadic Relation of a Sign is a module of design thinking. The approach of design semiotics will be decided upon in detail by what is regarded as Sign. Any design phenomenon can be a Sign and can be described as a sign system and its transformation. The finding of Signs in design phenomena will represent method, logic and technique of design. A remarkable feature in the description of sign systems is the fact that a Sign mediates between man who conceives and acts and the object of his conceptions and actions. This feature constitutes a new science of design which takes into account the Triadic Relation of a Sign. Traditional design theories are all monadic, diadic, or quassi-triadic. Design information, which correlates between design activity and its object, develops into a Sign through its performance. This aspect is represented only in the Triadic Relation of a Sign. The Triadic Relation of a Sign is too general a theory to analyse design phenomena. Differentiation of designing is described in sign sequences-sequential description of Triadic Relation in semiosis. We can find in design phenomena various kinds of sign sequences : a sign sequence consists of, e. g., designing, production, and usage; thinking process of design objects; a sign sequence in the evaluation of alternative designs; function of design tools. A sign sequences adequately represents the fact that designing is generation and degeneration of a Sign. Studies of design semiotics are undertaken in order to extend the ability of science to describe and explain its objects. The necessity of these studies becomes obvious when they are applied to design activities. The present study has been accompanied by the development of an Information System for Design and by an examination of user participation work in a redevelopment project at the Kiba districtof Tokyo.
