Synthesis Combining existing systems to satisfy stated needs Requires logic and complete (or near complete) knowledge of existing systems Example(s): È Designing a mechanism to support a person who wants to cross “over” a river or stream
Key question(s) for synthesis? a What functions do need to get the job done? a Is there a way to combine existing systems to do the desired functions without having too many extra functions and too much extra form? a What rules do I have to apply to do this?

Discovery a Using knowledge of existing architecture to discover new architecture a Requires knowledge of existing systems and pattern recognition, analysis and abstraction skills 日 EXample(s) V Man learning how to fly V Disease and drug pathways
Discovery Using knowledge of existing architecture to “discover” new architecture Requires knowledge of existing systems and pattern recognition, analysis and abstraction skills Example(s): È Man learning how to fly È Disease and drug pathways
Key question(s) for discovery? d Is there some analogous system in another domain a What are the properties of a given architecture that makes it perform so well for poorly)? Are there similar ( or better) ways to perform those functions?
