Hi Jan,
Thanks for your message. Fudge is the sticky stuff that helps bridge the
difficulties of life. Engineering designers are renowned for using fudges.
The equivalent of soggy digestive biscuits over tea.
I agree that the combination of intuition, science and math, plus the use of
multi-modal processes can produce good design (though I'd probably be a bit
careful with that 'intuition'). I'd understood Notes as different from this.
Hopefully I'll get hold of a copy later in the week to check.
Your wicked design methodology sounds interesting and useful. Please can you
point me to info about it.
Best wishes,
Terry
<snip>A 'fudge' as you call it, and as I understand the word, is a cheat. A
cheat meant to disguise any problems by appearing to work when it doesn't...
I am saying that the combination of intuition, science and math, plus the
use of multi-modal processes does in fact provide better design.... it
provided me with the
framework to build a methodology for working on 'wicked' design problems
with multi-national, multi-cultural, trans-disciplinary groups <endsnip>
