design
| The conceptual and practical working out of the appearance of an artefact or a building, with special reference to its effective functioning and its aesthetic quality. |
| The term derives from the Italian word disegno, which in Renaissance art theory meant the essential idea of a work of art and the expression of that idea through drawing. |
