Document Summary

Most begin with the client who sets the problem: most are done via a verbal statement. Based on this statement by the client, we know nothing. Their problem statement may contain errors, bias, or implied solutions: errors: incorrect information, faulty or incomplete data, or simple mistakes regarding the problem, bias: presumptions about a situation that may prove inaccurate. I(cid:373)plied solutio(cid:374)s: clie(cid:374)t"s (cid:271)est guess at a solutio(cid:374) We want to clarify what the client requires, account for project stakeholders, and identify contexts within which our design will function. Outcome is a list of attributes for the design from which objectives, constraints, and functions are pulled. 3. 2. 1: lists of design attributes and of design objectives.
