The study is intended to rethink the concept of design in order to extend methods of research developments in the field such as material, social and aesthetic, and in our methods of study of these shifts. We offer not just a change to one object of study to another, but to expand the very perception of the optics and exploration through the transformation of ideas about the design. We understand design as the whole race practices work with matter with social objectives. Thus, the object of our study becomes the dominant ideas about the design and methods of analysis in the research environment, and subject to the limitations of these approaches and the weakness of their common source in the form of definition of design, which leads us to the need of its revision. The aim of this work becomes, thereby, not just a statement of "weakness" of a particular analysis method of design, but offer a new optics of perception of the phenomenon of design, which would have made up for these shortcomings of previous approaches and offered a space for further research "maneuvers". We strive to create a conceptual model design, which would give us a broader understanding about what is design in the modern world, what role in shaping our society and consciousness he plays as it is possible to investigate within the framework of social and humanitarian Sciences, and, equally important, how it is possible to realize in the process of everyday practices.
