Abstract:
Models and methodologies for designing are numerous nowadays and no holistic approach, which combines all models, exists so far. Nonetheless, all of these models were developed with specific intentions which justify their existence, as they portray design from different perspectives and focus on varying elements or actions in designing. In our paper we classify these models and present a new integrated approach to support designers in understanding and in creating a kind of roadmap for designing, giving him access to the relevant theories and procedures he uses in certain stages of designing.
