Problem-Driven and Solution-Based Design: Twin Processes of Biologically Inspired Design
نویسندگان
چکیده
Biologically inspired design uses biological systems as analogues to develop solutions for design problems. We conducted a cognitive study of biologically inspired design in the context of an interdisciplinary introductory course on biologically inspired design in Fall of 2006. The goal of this study was to understand the processes of biologically inspired design. This paper provides a descriptive account of twin biologically inspired design processes, problem-driven and solution-based, and highlights the similarities and differences between them.

Solution Based Problem Evolution and Problem Inception in Biologically Inspired Design
Biologically inspired design is one of the most important movements in contemporary engineering design. The paradigm entails the use of biological systems as sources of ideas for the design of technological products. Thus, the paradigm, by definition, is based on cross-domain analogies. The movement is pulled by the growing need for sustainable development and pushed by the desire for creative ...
متن کاملIs Biologically Inspired Invention Different?
The paradigm of biologically inspired design views nature as a vast library of robust, efficient and multifunctional designs, and espouses the use nature as a source of analogues for inspiring novel designs in domains of interest such as architecture, computing, engineering, etc. Over the last generation, biologically inspired design has emerged as a major movement in engineering, architectural...
متن کاملCompound Analogical Design: Interaction between Problem Decomposition and Analogical Transfer in Biologically Inspired Design
Biologically inspired design (BID) can be viewed as an example of analogy-based design. Existing models of analogy-based design do not fully account for the generation of complex solutions in BID, especially those which contain compound solutions. In this paper we develop a conceptual framework of compound analogical design that explains the generation of compound solutions in design through op...
متن کاملA content account of creative analogies in biologically inspired design
The growing movement of biologically inspired design is driven in part by the need for sustainable development and in part by the recognition that nature could be a source of innovation. Biologically inspired design by definition entails cross-domain analogies from biological systems to problems in engineering and other design domains. However, the practice of biologically inspired design at pr...
متن کاملBiologically Inspired Design: Human Reasoning Using Nature’s Experiences
Biologically inspired design uses biological systems as analogues for addressing design problems. We have conducted in situ observational studies of biologically inspired engineering design in practice. Based on these studies, we present a meta-analysis of biologically inspired design as extreme case-based reasoning. Case-based reasoning in biologically inspired design is extreme in that source...
