INTERDEPENDECE

FOUR INTERDEPENDENT VARIABLES The Problem Solving Structure Context
Problem Formulation
Solution Approach
Solution Implementation
The Systems Methodology Understanding the Context is manifested as a strategy which drives the systems problem in terms of four interdependent variables and the solution is developed iteratively Strategy
Function
Desired Capabilities Space

Form
CONTINUOUS DESIGN PROCESS SYSTEM “Continuous improvement” – no prescribed “end
point” “Desired capabilities” – no well-defined and bounded requirements Reality indicates that “no one” is actually in charge Heterogeneity across diverse domains of functional and form needs “DESIGN Systems” come and go so design system is NOT bounded http://www.frontdesk.co.in/forum/

What Is Design?
http://www.frontdesk.co.in/forum/
My Personal Definition of Design:
“
Design refers to the human activity to invent a new structure for utility
�
Note: This is a very general definition, and should apply to all kinds of design activities, including architectural design, industrial design, urban design, process design, organization design, you name it.

“Ends” and “Means” of Design: Structure of Physical Objects

Structure of Informational Objects
Direct Manipulation
Structure of Logic Structure of Time
Structure of Behaviors/Events/Activities Structure of People

Goal
Conclusion:
The mission of design is to improve the human emotion (structure of mind), and economic outcome (structure of economy)
To achieve this mission, we have to influence the “structure of events” (e.g. the process flow) and the “structure of people” (e.g. social network), by manipulating the door /window, screens, levels , structure , etc.
This also determines the design process: “define the mission” -> “design the stories” -> “design the architecture”

Four Mindsets For Designers Realist Some things are independent of mind
Everything is mind dependent
Architect
Dreamer
Rationalist Some knowledge of the world is independent of our own experience
Idealist
The structure of the mind Our mind structures the matches, in some respects, world the structure of the world •Kant •Plato •Descartes Scientist
Empiricist
All knowledge of the world We can gain knowledge of the world, but only comes from experience through experience •Aristotle •Locke •Russell Categorization of Classical Epistemology
Skeptic We have no better insight into the workings of our minds than into the world itself •Hume •Berkeley
