Abstract:
This research proposes a methodology of analysis of design factors, based on meanings. The originally described factors of meanings are based on the idea for summarizing and representing relations between meanings. The analysis of results of a survey of design factors was used to evaluate the influence of introduced factors of meanings on the design evaluation. The resulting model clearly shows the effect of the proposed WordNet-based factors of meanings on the evaluation of design. Understanding the role of meanings in design assessment factors is a step in the development of a meaning-based support method of designing. This methodology of analysis bridges the gap to supportable process of synthesis of meanings in design methodology.
