Dear colleagues, If you are discussing something it would be great to get the things on a quite clear manner. Are you, in this forum, discussing the 'act' of design itself, or the process to design and make the things come true? I think - it is my opinion - that the individual act of design can't be modelled. However, the design methods are to be applied to furnish a strong basis to the acts of designing on a broader view and influence. Some times the systematic may feel as dragging, but in the most it may help a lot when the design act should result in a complex set of relations into a product architecture.
