Understanding methodological solution in design situation of novice designer

Abstract

This research discusses about categorizing new approach of industrial design research through design practice. Ironically, most of the novice designer design flaws and perspectives were not acquiescence with the design solutions. They probably faced with the unruly conclusion between structured and emergent design reasoning. The focus of this research is on understanding of the role demarcation of references and subject matter, which preferred as guidance of the novice designer to embark new ideas. The strategies of form development activities were adapted to a form-giving design theory. Finally, the design practice was analyzed through empirical design studies. It is aims to uncover the design thinking approaches and their standpoint on design solutions. The results also discussed the solution to both initial problems of design activities. At the end of this study, the guidelines of design methodology for novice designer were established in determining the core relation between design structure, design appearance and design limitation.
