Abstract
Problem/solution co-evolution and information processing have been described as two fundamental perspectives on designing in the literature. However, prior works have modelled them separately. This paper proposes a model that links design co-evolution and information processing via uncertainty perception. This joint model contributes to a broader understanding of the designer´s work, as well as how their perception of uncertainty drives their activities and decisions in the design process.
Keywords: uncertainty perception, information-processing theory (IPT), co evolution
