na broad sense Design Science is the grammar of a language of
images Irather than of words. Modern communication techniques
enable us to transmit and reconstitute images without needing to
know a specific verbal sequence 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 multi
dimensional. Architectural renderings commonly show projections
onto three mutual ly perpendicular planes, or consist of cross
sections at different altitudes capa ble of being stacked and
representing different floor plans. Such renderings make it
difficult to imagine buildings comprising ramps and other features
which disguise the separation between floors, and consequently
limit the cre ative process of the architect. Analogously, we tend
to analyze natural struc tures 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. Perception is
a complex process. Our senses record; they are analogous to audio
or video devices. We cannot, however, claim that such devices
perceive."
