During the process of design, the level of abstraction and the level of         detail at which a designer works change as different elements of the            design evolve.  While this observation implies an approach using                hierarchical decomposition, little basic research has been performed in         this area.  This effort will build on the work of Stiny and Atkin, two          researchers who have worked in the area of design hierarchy and design          representation, by developing a model for the design process that               integrates the hierarchy with the representation.  In this system,              designs will be evaluated as patterns over an algebra.  In addition,            the question of the optimal methods for displaying data to the designer         will be studied.  On a practical level, the models and theories will be         tested on a system for the design of fabric roofs.
