Reverse Design: a new approach to analyzing and developing artifacts

Abstract

This article aims to present the Reverse Design, which consists of a new approach to product development and for this was carried out an analysis of design methodologies from 1920 to the present day, with the purpose of demonstrating that they maintain a similar structure and linear product development. On the other hand, the Reverse Design has as a premise and in a different way from the current design methodologies, from an existing artifact to arrive at a new solution, being composed of two stages of analysis: general and structured. This approach is still under development, and for this reason, this article does not present conclusive results. Reverse Design does not pretend to be a new methodology, but rather a support tool that can contribute or complement current methodologies, collaborating mainly with teachers and design scholars, as it will allow a new way of product development.
