Dear terry,
perhaps of some use to your project about the fine art end of design and the engineering end of design I offer the following set of terms.
Theme / Thesis / Theorem / Theatre
Literary examples
Theme = love
Thesis = love hurts
Theorem = the eternal triangle (2 men 1 woman; two women 1 man)
Theater = where the whole thing gets shown
Design examples
Theme = transport
Thesis = it is possible to xyz
Theorem = energy source + drive train = vehicle
Theater = driving down the road
put the two together and you get a bad Hollywood road movie
cheers
keith
