Abstract
Act of designing is a constructive activity that creates certain objects by putting different things together. However, there is apparently no common ground we can argue about the constructive aspects of the act of designing. In this study, we analyze the constructiveness of the act of designing on the basis of constructive mathematics, especially, intuitionism. In order to clarify the constructive characteristic of the act of designing, we examine in detail the three aspects of constructive activities, namely, "objects to be constructed", "processes of construction" and "semantics of construction" in comparison to the act of proving in the constructive mathematics. Finally, we discuss the normative principles of the constructive design activities that are derived from the argument of harmony in the three aspects of constructive activities.
