design responsibility

Design responsibility refers to the obligation of creators—such as engineers, architects, or product developers—to ensure their designs are safe, functional, and meet relevant standards. It involves making decisions that prioritize the well-being of users, the environment, and compliance with regulations. When a design is flawed or unsafe, the responsible party is accountable for addressing issues, improving the design, and preventing harm. Essentially, it’s about taking ownership of the entire creative process to produce a reliable, safe, and effective product or structure.
