Abstract

design process evolution
This paper describes a model of design as a series of transformation processes and extends that model initially to include the behaviour of the designed product in its environment. This extended model is then recast through an analogy with natural evolution as an evolutionary process model of design through the inclusion of the evolutionary-style processes of cross-over and mutation and the introduction of design genes and the notion of inheritance from one generation to the next. © 1992 Butterworth-Heineman Ltd.
