Cardboard Mockup Evolutionary Design Method

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

• Simple, intentionally rough paper and cardboard models that can be rapidly torn, cut, and patched provide a practical way to evolve design through feedback.claim0.757
  Proposed practical method for achieving step-by-step feedback in design.
• piecemeal evolutionary approachconcept0.733
  Gradual, incremental introduction of morphogenetic sequences into the existing system, as opposed to revolutionary replacement.
• Full Size Mockupmethod0.720
  A technique of building full-scale physical mockups (cardboard, wood, concrete) on site to feel and refine dimensions before construction.
• Design Methods Movementconcept0.719
  1960s-70s scholarly movement Alexander initially championed then rejected; attempted to systematize design process through methods; Alexander later opposed separation of study from practice.
• Butcher paper full-scale mock-upmethod0.717
  Painting huge sheets of butcher's paper in gouache and hanging them in the actual space to test color combinations before painting the real surface; used in the kitchen, Great Hall, and other projects.
• On-Site Physical Mock-upmethod0.714
  The practical technique Alexander uses at West Dean and the California wall to test proportions and centers at full scale before committing to permanent construction.
• Cardboard mockup capitals quickly identify best centerfinding0.712
  At Back-of-the-Moon, testing cardboard capitals of varying thickness and height revealed one design that maximized the strength of the column center and the negative space.
• Designing for emergencemethod0.711
  An AI development approach where no explicit theory of intelligence is implemented, allowing intelligence to emerge.
