Document Summary

Symbolic analogies drwawing connections through some underlying symbolism. Another aspect is looking for similar solutions (i. e. stent is similar in both intent & function to scaffolding which is why they are made to be similar) Six teams members are seated around a table, each of whom writes down 3 design ideas. Six individual lists are then circulated past each of the remaining team members in a sequence of 5 rotations of written comments only. The general formula of this method is m 3 (m-1) because there may not always be 6 members. Starts with a team seated around a table, with each member sketching one design idea. Then, the designs are passed arounds and comments are written on sketches. Appealing in an area such as mechanical design because there is strongly suggestive evidence that sketching is a natural form of thinking.
