In a broad sense Design Science is the grammar of a language of
images rather than of words. Modern communication techniques enable
us to transmit and reconstitute images without the need of knowing
a specific verbal sequential language such as the Morse code or
Hungarian. International traffic signs use international image
symbols which are not specific to any particular verbal language.
An image language differs from a verbal one in that the latter uses
a linear string of symbols, whereas the former is multidimensional.
Architectural renderings commonly show projections onto three
mutually perpendicular planes, or consist of cross sections at
differ ent altitudes representing a stack of floor plans. Such
renderings make it difficult to imagine buildings containing ramps
and other features which disguise the separation between floors;
consequently, they limit the creativity of the architect.
Analogously, we tend to analyze natural structures as if nature had
used similar stacked renderings, rather than, for instance, a
system of packed spheres, with the result that we fail to perceive
the system of organization determining the form of such structures.
