Duality in Emergent Design and Optimum Design

- Toward the construction of Design Dualism -

Abstract

This paper describes the possibility of design dualism. Design dualism regards the bottom-up and top-down as two "origins" in order to understand the characteristics of Emergent design and Optimum design. Specifically, we presented a conceptual diagram that introduced the "origin" and showed the positioning of Emergent design and Optimum design. Moreover, the possibility of "origin" indexing and Emergent design and Optimum design types was mentioned. As this discussion progresses, it contributes to understand the characteristics of Emergent design and Optimum design.
