Abstract
This paper reports studies on Design proper, not for Design. We study for about 10 years, on the framework and the method of Design through the Design Process and System. We show the range of Design we study, and the differece between our study and other studies on Architectural Design in Japan. We discuss on Architecture and Man as users, clients, designers, maintain-ers and so on. From the point of view of a Designer we distinguish Design in a narrow sense from Design in a wide sense. And studies of Design in a narrow sense is situated onground of researches on Architectural Design. From our point of view of Design, we regard the Design Science as the Science of the Artifitial, not Natural Science. And we show our consciousness of the problem, aim, the range, the approach, the method, form of output and input, and development of our study. Finally, with a view to getting aid to gain better Design results by programming Design better, we study Design, especially its mechanism and Design Method to gain better results. Our aim and end is to lead to the theory and technics of the Design Programming.
