Abstract

This study proposes a framework of Design-by-Analogy (DbA) based on Structure Mapping Theory (SMT). A workshop is held to apply the framework to transforming the observation on DbA in daily life into creative designs. Results show that the participants' transformations prefer relational mapping to mere element mapping. The creativity in ideation is higher than that in observation; meaning the better analogy quality of the observation, the higher creativity of the design generated.
