While the first meaning of "design paradigm" refers to exemplary design solutions that create "design trends", the second meaning refers to what a group of people expects from a type of design solutions.
The term "Design paradigm" is used within the [[design]] professions, including [[architecture]], [[industrial design]] and [[engineering]] design, to indicate an archetypal solution. Thus a [[Swiss Army Knife]] is a design [[Paradigm (disambiguation)|paradigm]] illustrating the concept of a single object that changes configuration to address a number of problems.
Design paradigms have been introduced in a number of books including ''Design Paradigms'' by Warren Wake,<ref name="Wake, Design Paradigms" >{{cite book
Line 31:
The design paradigms concept has proven so powerful in traditional fields of design, that it has inspired a branch of [[computer science]], where computational analogies to design paradigms are commonly called [[design patterns (computer science)|design patterns]]. Importantly however, in design professions the term "[[design pattern]]" usually describes a 2-dimensional structure, whereas the term paradigm (or model) usually imply a higher order, having 3 or more dimensions.
