Extract

The discovery of the essential logic of engineering design through the development of the ‘procedure for analysing the design of interactive solutions’ (PADIS) has made it possible to prepare authoritative flowcharts for the design process. This deeper understanding has revealed that, for the design task overall, there is no unique flowchart but many. Each project study is inspired by a combination of up to five types of inspiration, and by appropriately combining the flowcharts given here, an individual flowchart can be determined for each design task undertaken.

At subordinate levels of design, it is true, the design process is normally stereotyped, but if invention or new knowledge encourages redesign there may be need to adopt different procedures.
