Definition of Design
Design is process of conceivi ng or inventing ideas
mentally and communi cating these ideas to others in a
form that is easily understood.
Design is a systematic action by which solution to the
needs of humankind are obtained and communicated.
Design is essence of Engineering.
Designing is a multidisci plinary task influenced by
technological and social factors.
Designing is iterative, team work and continually learning
process.

The Nature of Design
People have always DESIGNED artefacts*!
(Everything which is not a simple untouched peace of Nature has been designed)
*Artefacts are artificial objects, products, processes, etc.
*Artefacts are artificial objects, products, processes, etc.
In craft-based societies concepts of designing and
manufacturing are not separate.
(Example is a potter who makes a pot directlyfromhis head)
In modern societies these processes must be separate.
Making process cannot normally start before the
artefact has been designed
(In electronics, design can take months and manufacturingonlyseconds)
Design has to provide a clear description of the artefact
that has to be made.
(Almost nothing should be left to the discretion of those who manufacture the artefact)
Despite the method used to design an artefact, the
essential design activity is to produce its description.

Communication of Design
Design has to be delivered in a form understandable
to those who make or approve an artefact .
Galileo Galilei (1564 1642)
Philosophy is written in ahugebook, which stands
open beforeour eyes, that is theuniverse. It cannot
beread until wehavelearnt thelanguageand become
accustomed to thesymbols in which it is written.
It is in amathematical language, and theletters are
triangles, circles and geometrical figures, without
which it is not possibleto understand theworld.
The most widely used form of communication is
DRAWING.
Drawings need to convey information in the most
precise manner must be made in accordance to
a certain rules and principles.
Learning to read and make drawings is a very
important part of design education!

Philosophy of Designing in general
Governing everything could be seen in one overriding
principle of Necessity
Principle of Necessity dictates that the formalways perfectlyfits function in
nature, with no insufficiency or redundancy; it compels everyforce to expand itself
in the most direct way available for it; it prescribes that the simplest design to
achieve a given end will be followed; and it must be respected byanyhuman
contriver of artificial things.
Necessity is the mistress and teacher of nature;
necessity is the theme and inventor of nature,
the curb, the rule and the theme.
The universal architecture of Necessity is geometry
