System Design ideas
in a previous EM.411 lecture, Ed Crawley mentioned that David Kelley (I think) from IDEO used to create such simple architectures that mapping from “need” to “architecture” could all be grasped cognitively
this is as opposed to more normal systems which need this mapping but can’t be grasped cognitively all at once:
Needs > Solution neutral function > Concept > Architecture
this is an interesting idea, would be interested to learn more about it
