Abstract:

Why do all design acts begin by explicating a bounded frame of work? In design ontology, framing is the selection and representation of components and features in a system to guide perception and decision of designers but remains implicit. As a structural abstraction it becomes an explicit principle, formalised by a computational methodology that parameterises bounds and projects elements of a design having weighted attributes, in a relational context. Thus, the cognitive act becomes epistemic to compute for generating and evaluating frames, aligning design reasoning with scientific discourse.
