Study Notes
Design Space
- A large design space indicates potential complexity due to a high number of design variables.
- Identifying a clear design problem is essential when facing a large array of design options.
Morphological Chart
- A morphological chart is utilized to systematically generate and define design spaces.
- It consists of a matrix format where the leftmost column lists all principal functions required for the design.
- Key features necessary for the design should also be included in the chart.
- The list of functions and features should be concise to maintain manageability and focus.
- Consistency is critical; each entry in the chart should be at the same level of detail to facilitate effective comparisons.
Design Alternatives
- Analogical thinking is highlighted as a significant method for developing alternative design solutions.
- This approach draws inspiration from existing solutions in different contexts to innovate new designs.
