Foreword
Judging by the cover, this book is about conceptual design. And indeed if you are looking for a comprehensive system-level perspective of conceptualization as a driver for successful product development this is a book you should read. It presents conceptualisation methods used in design and product development and clearly underlines its importance in the context of the design process and well developed products. But while you read this book you will find much more, a much deeper thinking and extensive study of design itself. This is a book about the essence of design, about creating the new and making of the better. It is about fostering changes through questioning the existent, the needs, and the methods we use, questioning the technology we create and use, and the future we want to shape. This book is a driver for thinking and rethinking about design, the nature of design and the importance of design in shaping our lives. Presented thoughts and reasoning are built on direct evidence, on over 40 years of experience, thinking and question
