ABSTRACT

To a scientist, "designing" may mean devising an experimental method or procedure. To an architect, design can involve structures or material selection. In contrast to scientists, people who think of themselves foremost as designers will concentrate their efforts on producing as many solutions as possible for the design problem, rather than analyze the problem in the way scientists do (Lawson 1979). The difference is a practical one of how to deal with a problem, not one of how the word design is interpreted.
