Abstract

How should we evaluate someone’s design suggestion? Is gut feel and experience enough for most cases? Is anything more substantial and systematic possible? This paper outlines a process for design evaluation, which assesses the impacts of designs towards meeting quantified requirements. The design evaluation process is viewed as consisting of a series of design filters.
