Abstract
The paper aims at sensitizing designers towards the voices of every stakeholder involved in designing a product that influences through the product’s life cycle, in a comprehensible way with an objective to facilitate designer towards a better design. This paper discusses the basic purpose and nature of design in the context of judging the aptness of a dialogue among the stakeholders including product in itself. It also discusses designers stand towards other stakeholder’s ideas in the design process for making the conversation dialogical or arguing in nature. The paper proposes ‘Design Tree’ as a structure, for creating distinct platforms for dialogue to happen at all stages of design evolution for design dialogue to be comprehensible.
