Abstract
Along with the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century, the domains of designing artifacts were subdivided into engineering design domain and design domain. Throughout the development of science and technology, the both domains have been dealing with various social issues, such as the expansion of designing cost and time, and the diversity of user values. But unfortunately, the issues are becoming more serious as time passes, and both domains are having difficulties to deal with them by using the existing design methodologies. Therefore, it is required to apply a new design methodology into the practice of both domains by clarifying the problems of existing methodologies. Based on the background, this paper extracts the characteristics of engineering design domain and design domain, by comparing the research objects in both domains from the viewpoint of multispace design model; one of the design theory proposed in the field of design science. Furthermore, based on the characteristics, future research issues in both domains, as well as design methodologies for solving the issues are derived.
