design study

• For example Architecture at a University
• Context sensitivity
• Other categories describing design issues
• Methodology to make use of each others progress
• Scientific justification

science supposes design,not the reverse

• Probability supposes possibility
• Imaginations and designed instrumentsprecede
  scientific progress
• Design uses empirical resultsbut produces
  something else
• Science is not necessarily part of designbut of
  its realisation

1 Without difference, nothing can be chosen,
imagined or realized. 1.1 'Attention' supposes
difference. 1.2 'Boundary' supposes a difference
of object and context. 1.3 'Variation' supposes
different differences. 1.4 'Comparison' supposes
equality in difference. 1.5 'Reduction' supposes
less difference than impression. 1.6 'Identificati
on' supposes difference of location or
occasion. 1.7 'Image' supposes difference of
identification 1.8 'Criterion' supposes a chosen
difference. 1.9 'Variable' supposes a
set 1.10 'Legend' supposes difference in location
and attribute 1.11 'Imagination' supposes
different reductions   2 'Change' supposes a
difference without denial.   3 'Coherence'
supposes duration in change.   4 'Isolation'
supposes freedom in coherence.   5 'Selection'
supposes consistency in isolation. .
