The stated principles are a mix of approaches and desirable attributes, but I think miss what to me is the core aspect of design that relates to achieving a specific stated goal within a time, cost and performance envelope. Or perhaps that’s perceived as ‘engineering’
- garethrowlands 6y agoI think engineering increasingly sees goals that aren't very specific or necessarily accurate, that change over time and where meeting them partially provides value. Thinking about engineering in terms of trading time, cost and performance or quality is one perspective but these things are often very hard to trade and focusing on providing value is usually more reliable.
- KineticLensman 6y ago> these things are often very hard to trade and focusing on providing value is usually more reliable Good point and I completely agree. I just felt that not mentioning any of these things in an article on 'principles of design' understates the complexity of a real and principled design process.
