“…In this regard, the inherence of early-stage design knowledge leads to a general multiple-criteria approach by examining the association under multiple, potentially conflicting requirements and creative resolutions. However, the desired methods for design behavior tend to share such characteristics as decomposable, discrete, deterministic, disembodied and linear, while the real world is convoluted in nonlinear, physically-constrained and messy situations [4]. This may fully or partially be resolved by using such technique as design heuristics for qualitative and/or quantitative reasoning.…”
