When beginning to investigate `creativity in detailed design' it becomes apparent that the literature and discourse regarding the terms; conceptual and detailed design are confused at a point or ...
Sedenkov, Vladimir Michailovich // 2009
Amazing phenomenon of engineering design is that it manipulates with non-existent and yet to be called into being entities in the same way as with real objects (products and processes). Thus a ...
