Study of gazing points in design situation A proposal and practice of an Analytical method based on the Explanation of design activities

摘要

In this paper, a model of design information that can take into account various information such as that of the environment around a designer and the past experiences is proposed. The authors believe that design models based on a framework of problem solving do not explicitly describe all design activities. In order to compensate for this insufficiency, the authors propose the concept of a gazing point in the design situation which is clarified by the designer's explanation of his/her problem-solving processes. The gazing point controlling process is the design activities that play a role in extracting the designer's unique information form all the information that the designer can recognize in a design.
