Abstract

Design has been a core of human history and development. However, its critical role has been unclear not only for the manufacturing industry but also for society, because it had been spontaneous until the modern era. As the contents of artifacts become more complicated, the meaning of design is expanding. Multi-disciplinary design optimization, design thinking, model-based design, and virtual engineering are representative of its recent subordinate developments. When carefully observing the circumstances of Japanese firms under the global trends, it must be a question of whether the whole shape of those recent developments in the design and their backgrounds is adequately understood. This talk will provide some viewpoints on those issues and pose an image of the frontier of design engineering by reviewing the history of artifacts and associated manufacturing activities under a comprehensive view of the design.
