As a professional field, design faces ten major challenges today. There are three performance challenges, four substantive challenges, and three contextual challenges.

The performance challenges of design are to:
1. Act on the physical world.
2. Address human needs.
3. Generate the built environment.

These challenges require frameworks of theory and research to address contemporary professional problems and solve individual cases.
The professional problems of design involve four substantive challenges:
1. Increasingly ambiguous boundaries between artifact, structure, and process.
2. Increasingly large-scale social, economic, and industrial frames.
3. An increasingly complex environment of needs, requirements, and constraints.
4. Information content that often exceeds the value of physical substance.

In an integrated knowledge economy, design also involves three contextual challenges.
These are:
1. A complex environment in which many projects or products cross the boundaries of several organizations, stakeholder, producer, and user groups.
2. Projects or products that must meet the expectations of many organizations, stakeholders, producers, and users.
3. Demands at every level of production, distribution, reception, and control.

These ten challenges require a qualitatively different approach to professional practice than was needed in earlier times.
