Principia Designae Pre-Design, Design, and Post-Design

This book presents a broad design purview within the framework of pre-design, design, and post-design by focusing on the motive of design, which implies an underlying reason for the design of a product. The chapters are comprised of papers based on discussions at the Design Research Leading Workshop held in Nara, Japan, in 2013. This book encourages readers to enhance and expand their thinking within a widened design perspective.

Describes how the pre- and post-design phases are captured and modeled Illustrates the relationships between science & technology and culture within a broad design perspective
