OBSERVATION – DOCUMENTATION – ANALYSIS – REFLECTION-EVALUATION - ADAPTATION

 The designer’s practice is communicating designer’s intent to the outside world by presenting output that created by the designer.

The process of practice, illustrated in this diagram is rather one directional; it is performed throughout one’s life span of commitment in design practice. However, the whole process of practice is consisted with several sessions of ideas and making, which is red inner circle of this diagram; it represents the embodiment of designer’s idea through fabrication and development of format by utilizing affordance that is available to the designer.

 The grey circle, a system of observation – documentation – analysis – reflection – evaluation – adaptation, is an embodied and articulated abstraction of reflection of the overall practice. An intent of the designer is the core effector that shapes the modes of output and it’s process of making, thus the observation – documentation – analysis – reflection – evaluation – adaptation –system will be influenced by the context of the intent, yet the system is orbiting around the whole path of the designer’s practice and constantly influencing the intent and growing along with the designer’s practice.
