  What is Design Paradigm ?

Design Paradigm ‘presents a new approach to solving design problems’ and ‘thinking about the ways things work’. It is a powerful tool for innovation and creative work. Observation of paradigm increases the ability for innovations.
 Par-a-digm for Greek paradeigma to ‘show side-by-side’ (metaphor)

The flying of Avis (Latin) or Aves (plate 4A) by capturing air in the wings and other similar species (plate 4C) has inspired man to invent flying devices (plate 4B) tofulfil their aspirations in innovative manner. The observation of flying creatures innature has inspired man to think differently. The inquisitive mind wanted to know the ways things work and came up with possible solutions. “The term ‘Design paradigm’ is used within the design professions, including architecture’ ‘industrial design’ and ‘engineering design’, to indicate an archetypal solution.”
