We start from describing bricolage, and we proceed to the relationship of design to art. We obtain a characterisation of design that enables us to show that both traditional and contemporary design are forms of bricolage. We examine the consequences of `design as bricolage' for the relationship between design and science and for the extent of the design activity.
