.I am a designer
Is it meaningful to talk of optimum solutions or true needs in
connection with architectural design?
optimum indicates that the results of design as he knows it can be
measured against established criteria of success. This may well be the
case for the design of a machine where output can be quantified on one
or more scales of measurement, but it hardly applies to the design of a
stage set or a building interior.
This definition also assumes that all the true needs of a circumstance
can be listed. However, designers are by no means sure of all the needs
of a situation. Not all design problems relate to equally purposeful
activities. For example, it is much easier to define the needs to be
satisfied in a lecture theatre than in a domestic living-room.

To regard thinking as a skill

rather than a gift is the first
step towards doing
something to improve that
skill.
Edward de Bono, Practical Thinking
Design is a highly complex and sophisticated skill. It is not a mystical

ability given only to those with recondite powers but a skill
which, for many, must be learnt and practiced rather like the playing
of a sport or a musical instrument.
skills must be acquired initially by attention to detail. It is in the very nature of highly developed skills that
we can perform them unconsciously. The expert golfer is not thinking about the golf swing but about the
golf course, the weather and the opponents. The flautist. So it is with design. We probably work best
when we think least about our technique. Beginners
however must first analyze and practice all the elements of their skill and we should remember that even
the most talented of professional golfers or musicians still benefit from lessons all the way through their
careers.
While we are used to the idea that physical skills like riding a bicycle, swimming and playing a musical
instrument must be
learned and practiced, we are less ready to recognize that thinking might need similar attention as was
suggested by the famous British philosopher Ryle (1949):
Thought is very much a matter of drills and skills.
Later the psychologist Bartlett (1958) echoed this sentiment:
Thinking should be treated as a complex and high level kind of skill.
More recently there have been many writers who have exhorted their readers to practice this skill of
thinking. One of the most notable, Edward de Bono (1968) summarizes the message of such writers:
On the whole, it must be more important to be skilful in thinking than to be stuffed with facts.

In summary
for design to take place a number of things must happen:
There must be a brief assembled,
The designer must study and understand the requirements,
Produce one or more solutions,
test them against some explicit or implicit criteria,
and communicate the design to clients and constructors.

However, the idea that these activities occur in that order, or even
that they are identifiable separate events seems very
questionable.
It seems more likely that design is a process in which problem
and solution emerge together. Often the problem may not even be
fully understood without some acceptable solution to illustrate it.

The design process as a sequence of activities and found the

idea rather unconvincing.
However, this map should not be read too literally since any
visually understandable diagram is probably far too much of a
simplification of what is clearly a highly complex mental process
