Abstract
This paper aims to describe the design process used by engineers
and architect when designing innovative structures. The design
proceeds progressively through a number of stages from conception
to construction and within each stage there is a control
process by which the design is reviewed. This has been termed
a merit function, it looks forward to the completion of the project
and backward to the requirements. The paper describes this
process and is illustrated by several examples.
