Simon explains that, “The natural sciences are concerned with how things are. … Design, on the other hand, is concerned with how things ought to be, with devising artifacts to attain goals.” 1 Designers interpret design problems and formulate design objectives. They explore opportunities and represent possibilities, reflect on prior designs and communicate design proposals to others. Designs are contingent upon the contexts in which they arise.
