DESIGN is a word that describes the physical makeup of a work of art, sculpture, or basically anything that exists. I think that design is nothing more than the outcome of working extremely hard and putting forth creativity and emotions to make something that has never been seen before, be it the design of a car, or the design on a canvas, or even the design of a person. When I say the design of a person, I mean the effort the egg, sperm, and mother put into making a whole being out of two small cells. All things that exist have a design to them that is unique from anything else like it (unless that design was repeated so that it could be sold widespread).
CULTURE is what we get from a combination of designs created by people within an inhabited. Even down to the art of creation stories, all cultures revolve around designed symbols of status or virtue that define them as a community.
LANGUAGE is a designed means of communication, which in itself is beautiful art. It was created for a means of understanding others within their own culture or community (commune being the root word of both communication and community). Many years in the making, language is not used to define a culture, separating individuals by design just as much as ever while drawing together strong groups in a united way of life.
As I described above, these three things all influence each other. The concrete that holds them all together, in my opinion, is design. Language was a design that worked with many other designs to create cultures. All three intersect in this way.
With this in mind I would just like to share this with you all. I find it interesting that a design as unique as an actual human being can be duplicated to make two unique beings naturally. By this I am referring to my identical twin girls. In art, a repeated painting never has the same respected value as the original, but when there is no original and both are identical, I think that in itself is a work of art.
