Design is an integration of knowledge, merging the concepts of oneself and transcend it to a new criterion.
Design Philosophy

Design as an act is central to all the varieties of technology, and since the creation of artificial form, including what we conventionally call invention, is so patently and irrevocably associated with the act of design, we can surely hope to gain significant insight into the nature of inventing mind by focusing on the design process itself. ( Dasgupta, 1996 )
Design Philosophy

Designed object carries three different functions:1. Physical function2. Psychological function3. Metaphorical function
Design Philosophy

Most design activities share a number of common features. They are: identify a problem, thinking about it and realizing the solution. It is these “common” problem solving activities that form the core of the subject and make it distinct from the other areas of the school curriculum. ( CDC, 1997)

The integrated design is that “We must see man, his tools, environment, and ways of planning, as a nonlinear, simultaneous, integrated, comprehensive whole.” ( Papanek, 1984 )
