  1. Design what is it?

  2. Design what is it?

  3. Design as an activity in its own right • different to science, art, music • science explains • art, music express emotions

  4. an activity in its own right Design • the production of an entity (or its representation) to satisfy • a given set of requirements

  5. design creates Design as an activity in its own right

  6. design has changed the world Design as an activity in its own right

  7. a purposeful act Design as an activity in its own right

  8. P F F B B S S Design characteristics • function / purpose • behaviour • structure

  9. Design characteristics • function / purpose why / what does • behaviour how does • structure what is

  10. Design characteristics • function / purpose • to tell the time • to adorn the wearer • to advertise status • behaviour • by pointing to appropriate marks • being visible • be attractive, stylish • structure • gold case /strap, glass face, gold hands, …

  11. Design characteristics • function / purpose • to promote Faculty • to inform • behaviour • by projecting an academic image • by projecting an attractive look • by displaying accurate & complete information • by being easy to use / navigate • structure • text, graphics & multimedia • type, shape, size, colour, location, orientation, tone, loudness, …

  12. Unintended Functions • not purpose of design • side effects • e.g. cars – exhaust, space, momentum • may find new purposes • ‘good’ and ‘bad’ • cup for measuring, car for ram-raiding

  13. reformulation description function problem formulation evaluation actual behaviour required behaviour documentation analysis synthesis structure redesign Design processes

  14. Design classification • routine design • finding values for structural variables • innovative design • extending the values of structural variables • creative design • creating new variables, new types

  15. Design Prototypes an object-oriented representation for design

  16. Design Prototypes John Gero http://www.arch.usyd.edu.au/~john/publications/ger-prototypes/ger-aimag.html http://mason.gmu.edu/~jgero/publications/1990/90GeroDesignPrototypes.pdf

  17. Design Prototypes name typology context function behaviour structure knowledge DP = ƒ (T, C, F, B, S, K)

  18. Design Prototypes name: hinged door typology: aTypeOf: door context: space(S1,S2), wall(W1) function: controlsAccess, providesSecurity, … behaviour: swings, opens/closes, hasStrength, lockable, … structure: aComponentOf: wallAssembly(W) hasComponents: (frame, leaf, hinges, handles) material: anyOf: (timber, metal, glass, …) shape: rectangular dimensions: (height, width, thickness) knowledge: R45 IF strength OF door IS high THEN providesSecurity function OF door IS satisfactory ….

  19. Designing with Design Prototypes • routine design • given a specific design prototype instantiate values of variables • innovative design • select appropriate design prototype extend range of variables by adding new values new subclass • creative design • create new high-level design prototype new variables &/or new combinations 20

  20. creativity • what is it? • can computers design? • can computers be creative?

  21. computers in design • what would computers need to do to design? • what would computers need to be creative?

  22. creative design ?
