Writers on design theory have characterized the design process as an interaction between broad categories of design knowledge and their application in unique situations. The knowledge categories in question are based in the notion of "types." Further, a typological view of design suggests that a designer keys knowledge from specific design situations to generic versions of those situations; it suggests that a designer invokes those generic situations in order to deal with current specific situations.
