5. Design Process
Design Frameworks

architect, the client
and the project” -
Schon Conversations shape the
problem.

7. Sharing Expertise
Uncovering constraints
Declaring Learning outcome
Making problems from a mess

18. Early conversations
with clients need to be
about discovery
Designers need to be

Purpose of constraints is to
ensure the designed system
performs the function desired.
