Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent handle design by field, brief, process, evaluation and rights.

The planned process of conceiving and specifying objects, systems, spaces, interactions or services to meet goals within constraints, across fields such as product, graphic, architectural, landscape, interaction and sound design.

What it is for: Shaping how things work, look and are experienced.

It can be write a design brief; prototype and test; evaluate with users; protect designs legally.

Distinguishing features

Planned, goal-directed process

Iterative

Balances constraints

Protected by design rights

What it looks like

Sketches, models, prototypes, specifications and finished artefacts.

How it is recognised

Design briefs and specifications

Fields such as garden design or sonification

Design as the resulting pattern is a related sense

What the second pass must settle

  • Should design fields be separate entries?
  • How should design methods be linked?
  • How should design as pattern be split off?
