Environment-Based Design (EBD): A Methodology for
 Innovative and Creative Design

doi:10.16183/j.cnki.jsjtu.2019.07.016

Abstract

Abstract: The objective of design is to create a product that fulfills prescribed product requirements. The product can be an instrument, a machine, a software system, a plan, or a policy. Therefore, design, especially innovative and creative design, affects greatly every part of our everyday life. This paper introduces environment-based design (EBD) theory and methodology that was proposed to provide a step-by-step procedure to support the generation of innovative and creative design solutions. The EBD methodology includes environment analysis, conflict identification, and solution generation.

Key words: environment-based design, design science, innovative design, conflict analysis, recursive logic
