Design is the creation of a plan or convention for the construction of an object, system or measurable human interaction as in architectural blueprints, engineering drawings, business processes, circuit diagrams, and sewing patterns. Design has different connotations in different fields see design disciplines below. In some cases, the direct construction of an object as in pottery, engineering, management, coding, and graphic design is also considered to use design thinking. Designing often necessitates considering the aesthetic, functional, economic, and sociopolitical dimensions of both the design object and design process. It may involve considerable research, thought, modeling, interactive adjustment, and re design. Meanwhile, diverse kinds of objects may be designed, including clothing, graphical user interfaces, skyscrapers, corporate identities, business processes, and even methods or processes of designing. Thus design may be a substantive referring to a categorical abstraction of a created thing or things the design of something, or a verb for the process of creation as is made clear by grammatical context. It is an act of creativity and innovation. DefinitionseditMore formally design has been defined as follows noun a specification of an object, manifested by an agent, intended to accomplish goals, in a particular environment, using a set of primitive components, satisfying a set of requirements, subject to constraints verb, transitive to create a design, in an environment where the designer operates3Another definition for design is a roadmap or a strategic approach for someone to achieve a unique expectation. It defines the specifications, plans, parameters, costs, activities, processes and how and what to do within legal, political, social, environmental, safety and economic constraints in achieving that objective. Here, a specification can be manifested as either a plan or a finished product, and primitives are the elements from which the design object is composed. With such a broad denotation, there is no universal language or unifying institution for designers of all disciplines. This allows for many differing philosophies and approaches toward the subject see  Philosophies and studies of design, below. The person designing is called a designer, which is also a term used for people who work professionally in one of the various design areas usually specifying which area is being dealt with such as a fashion designer, concept designer, web designer or interior designer. A designers sequence of activities is called a design process while the scientific study of design is called design science. Another definition of design is planning to manufacture an object, system, component or structure. Thus the word design can be used as a noun or a verb. In a broader sense, the design is an applied art and engineering that integrate with technology. While the definition of design is fairly broad, design has a myriad of specifications that professionals utilize in their fields. Design as a processeditSubstantial disagreement exists concerning how designers in many fields, whether amateur or professional, alone or in teams, produce designs. Kees Dorst and Judith Dijkhuis, both designers themselves, argued that there are many ways of describing design processes and discussed two basic and fundamentally different ways,9 both of which have several names. The prevailing view has been called the rational model,1. The alternative view has been called reflection in action,1. The rational modeleditThe rational model was independently developed by Herbert A. Simon,1. 4 an American scientist, and Gerhard Pahl and Wolfgang Beitz, two German engineering design theorists. It posits that designers attempt to optimize a design candidate for known constraints and objectives,the design process is plan driven,the design process is understood in terms of a discrete sequence of stages. The rational model is based on a rationalist philosophy1. According to the rationalist philosophy, design is informed by research and knowledge in a predictable and controlled manner. Example sequence of stageseditTypical stages consistent with the rational model include the following Each stage has many associated best practices. Criticism of the rational modeleditThe rational model has been widely criticized on two primary grounds Designers do not work this way  extensive empirical evidence has demonstrated that designers do not act as the rational model suggests. Unrealistic assumptions  goals are often unknown when a design project begins, and the requirements and constraints continue to change. The action centric modeleditThe action centric perspective is a label given to a collection of interrelated concepts, which are antithetical to the rational model. It posits that designers use creativity and emotion to generate design candidates,the design process is improvised,no universal sequence of stages is apparent  analysis, design and implementation are contemporary and inextricably linked1. The action centric perspective is based on an empiricist philosophy and broadly consistent with the agile approach2. Substantial empirical evidence supports the veracity of this perspective in describing the actions of real designers. Like the rational model, the action centric model sees design as informed by research and knowledge. However, research and knowledge are brought into the design process through the judgment and common sense of designers  by designers thinking on their feet  more than through the predictable and controlled process stipulated by the rational model. Descriptions of design activitieseditAt least two views of design activity are consistent with the action centric perspective. Both involve three basic activities. In the reflection in action paradigm, designers alternate between framing, making moves, and evaluating moves. Framing refers to conceptualizing the problem, i. A move is a tentative design decision. The evaluation process may lead to further moves in the design. In the sensemakingcoevolutionimplementation framework, designers alternate between its three titular activities. Sensemaking includes both framing and evaluating moves. Implementation is the process of constructing the design object. Coevolution is the process where the design agent simultaneously refines its mental picture of the design object based on its mental picture of the context, and vice versa. The concept of the design cycle is understood as a circular time structure,2. Anderson points out that this concept emphasizes the importance of the means of expression, which at the same time are means of perception of any design ideas. Design disciplineseditPhilosophies and studies of designeditThere are countless philosophies for guiding design as design values and its accompanying aspects within modern design vary, both between different schools of thoughtwhich and among practicing designers. Design philosophies are usually for determining design goals. A design goal may range from solving the least significant individual problem of the smallest element, to the most holistic influential utopian goals. Design goals are usually for guiding design.
