open-in-new
<p>C-K design theory or concept-knowledge theory is both a <a href="/facts/Design/kR4GNeja">design</a> theory and a <a href="/facts/Theory/9vrNS1Rr">theory</a> of reasoning in design. It defines design reasoning as a <a href="/facts/Mathematical_logic/SaI7Y3wN">logic</a> of expansion processes, <i>i.e.</i> a logic that organizes the generation of unknown objects. The theory builds on several traditions of design theory, including systematic design, <a href="/facts/Axiomatic_design/RsxLbkHr">axiomatic design</a>, <a href="/facts/Creativity/8sNGv9no">creativity</a> theories, general and formal <a href="/facts/Design/kR4GNeja">design theories</a>. </p>
