analysis of space

How do I design? What is the process behind my outcomes? How can I describe my doing? How can I do it better? The simplest way out describing the design process is: input - process - output But what happens in between, the transformation is most of the time hidden and sometimes not even clear to the creator. To review my own design process I looked at Don Koberg and Jim Bagnall’s “The Universal Traveller.” In the book they describe the basic components of any creative task: “When consciously solving problems or when creatively involved in the activity of design, two basic stages are necessary. First, we break the situation or whole problem into parts for examination (Analysis) and Second, we reassemble the situation based on our understanding of improvements discovered in our study (Synthesis).” The process of analysis and synthesis can be repeated infinitely within the process. Personally I think the repetition of to the two transformed the work into more abstract and unknown forms. If this up for discussion if this could be seen as a universal principle or not.
