DESIGN FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF UNDERSTANDING SCIENCE

Design as a science is debatable, considering the wide use of the word is questionable whether the design so that design as a branch of science, the object or the object. If as a branch of science and whether the ontology, what methodology epistemologinya or what?
Ontology is a branch of philosophy which raised questions about whether so-called ADA exist? If the ADA from where? Is it from God or from the human mind?.
When coming from God, a transcendental science of getting the character, the whole truth because based on revelation and this is called Metaphysics, while people do not think that science.
When the revelation descended into something palpable, becomes an empirical evidence because there is proof, that is the principle of natural scientist.
Ontology of product design is making (making), then whether the design invention, whether the design always begins with inspiration?.
In the 1960s came the movement design methodology, DC.Jones, who first proposed the modern design, writes that enjinir, architects, industrial designers, graphic designers and formulated the question whether the design is science? Because at that time did not include a design science as a part of science, design Would not created newness, then how about the Craft (Craft)?
After that comes the separation between the traditional design with modern design, said that the traditional design is more intuitive (something you have in mind, wandering and wondering), through various processes of trial and error. Meanwhile, modern design is intended as problem solving, to memcahkan problem. What problem is solved? Anything that can be poured, was written and not just based on intuition.
Below is a hallmark of modern design, which is needed and the problem solving process must always be preceded by PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION then how to solve an epistemological problem, how to find apakh induction or deduction? Then continue on METHODOLOGY.

Bede Art, Craft and Design
What should be explained about the design?
Design is the process of solving problems that have led to the synthesis of cultural values.
Design is the result of analysis using the methodology and is objective.
Art is something that is full of value, to create something original based on his own thoughts.
Kriya is something that is made directly.

DESIGN MOVEMENT method
Movement that emerged and to ensure the position of design with science, his character is karl Poper, Thomas Kuhn, Herbert Simon and Michael Polanyl.
Traditional VS Modern design
Problem Solving
Arts or Mathematics
Scientific method = design method?
According to Karl Popper, in his book Conjection * and refutation, Science is not found with linear ways, just do it, reduced little by little until finally found something true.
Conjection soar without limit meaning, groping, fantasize and escape. There's always the problem conjection verification.
Thomas Kuhn argued about a paradigm, which means a new mindset which was agreed by the scientific community in the period / a particular era. According kebenarnan science (especially social science) is highly contextual and highly dependent on the prevailing paradigm.
While Herbert Simon said that the design is a science that is the science of artificial (man-made artificial).
While Herbert Simon said that the design is a science that is the science of artificial (man-made artificial).
Design method, however doubted by Nigel Cross, which says that the method is expressed by Popper, Kuhn and Simon considered designerly no way of knowing, which is too mathematical results are not creative and he put forward the theory of design of user participation.

Desin engineering starts from: Matter, energy and information, the material is something that comes from nature, is a decree anything that moves eneri and information are the various requirements necessary for a design menciptak. Example is the eye glasses, which tend to be called as a function. Consisting solely of glass frames, glass in linking eye on the ears, is the lens frame to tie all of which are functions. But when someone becomes felt more handsome, cool with the glasses who spoke not of engineering but of psychology.
However, it should be noted that the function is not only aimed at the pragmatic function, as well as the function of aesthetic beauty function.

- A designer malakukan Optimization
- To sort the processes, identify problems and formulate
- From the principle of optimization will appear EFFICIENCY and EFFECTIVENESS, where these two variables can be measured, so there would be value in each variable, into something that can be quantified. Quantification is a mathematical model to design configuration.

An example of the optimization is to design a bridge, a structure must use the power formula, the overall design should be compact, the configuration of the optimization is a form sabagai effect.
Designers when creating a form of a cause will do CONJECTION, palpability visual, so there is a sense of pleasure.
Form as a means for the preceding form, based functionality offered by the engineer, so the designs already include a configuration which contains community and aesthetic pleasure.
Designs can also dictate human behavior as well as military uniforms, and also serves as an identification symbol.
