Analysis Through the Data collection from interviews and observations, will allow researcher to investigate their approach towards the project and the design process to establish theories. The analysis is divided into different segments. The first step allows one to understand the data in four layers by the four D’s of the design process to know the intention of stakeholders, the process. The second step is to map all the actions and activities that form the process. Once the process has been mapped, through these, we observe factors that govern the process. The last step is to understand factors that dictate the process and how decisions were made around such factors. This approach will help derive new theories and findings to answer the …show more content…

Such a design process thereby offers long lasting engagement to the users, a recall value to the final designed product and leads in its innovations in society. Various other aspects of design namely design stages, methodology, approaches, etc are considered to be the sub-parts of a design process being studied here. Parameters like location, programmatic requirements economy, socio-cultural context, materiality etc lay a strong influence on making of every design process. Further the selection of one parameter as more relevant than another at every step would vary from project to project. This would vividly differentiate a process from another processes. Intuitive thinking is also a rationally processed subconsious act, thereby allowing a larger design process to …show more content…

However, while they do two sides to the same coin, they are different. Process is a naturally occurring or intended sequence of operations or events over time which produces desired outcome. Process contains a series of thoughts, actions, events, mechanics , or steps which contains methods. Method is a way of doing something, especially a systematic way through an orderly arrangement of specific techniques. Each method has a process . There are also many variables that affect outcomes since logic and intuition interplay with one another. Two people can therefore use the same method and arrive at different outcomes because the design process still remains
