Abstract
This chapter sets out the main purpose of this book. First, the chapter looks at how products are closely related to science and technology, and society. Next, the analytical method, which focuses on analyzing a problem, and the synthetic method, which involves an existing analysis as well as a new creation, are explained as perspectives for understanding design. Design is then defined as the process of composing what is desirable toward the future. Finally, the main questions that this book seeks to answer are set out, Why do we design? and Why are we able to design? The design cycle model, composed of the pre-design phase, the design phase, and the post-design phase, is proposed as a framework for discussing these questions.
