What are the additional design genres, derived from the four basic ones?

<p>Formal Design, Art Design, Critical Design, Functional Design (D)</p> Signup and view all the answers

Critical Design occupies a position between Conceptual and User-centered Design because, similar to Conceptual Design, it involves breaking the archetype, but while Conceptual Design breaks the archetype to challenge the conventional concept of the object, Critical Design does so to unlock alternative possibilities of use, similaraly to User-centered Design.

Formal Design encompasses certain aesthetic considerations, akin to both Archetypal and Figurative Design. Like Figurative Design, Formal Design seeks to leverage aesthetics, but it diverges in that it does not aim to represent something else beyond the object itself.

The A320 introduced a fly-by-wire system, replacing mechanical controls with computer automation. Modern jetliners use autopilots, GPS-based flight management systems, and collision avoidance systems. However, heavy reliance on automation has diminished pilots' expertise, dulled reflexes, and reduced attentiveness, leading to a decline in their skills compared to the hands-on control required in earlier aircraft.
