General System and C-K Theory How Can Design Processes be Represented?
Through previous research, I have highlighted a complete analogy between two cosmologies: the Chinese 5 elements and the 5 Platonic solids, thereby linking the Chinese and Greek modes of thought. The correspondence between these two systems reveals an identical underlying structure that can only c...

Through previous research, I have highlighted a complete analogy between two cosmologies: the Chinese 5 elements and the 5 Platonic solids, thereby linking the Chinese and Greek modes of thought. The correspondence between these two systems reveals an identical underlying structure that can only correspond to L.v. Bertalanffy's notion of the General System. To explore the possible applications of this General System to the field of engineering and architecture, I propose to interpret and optimise a theory that models creativity and design processes in a unified way. The aim is to consider how to put into analogical correspondence Hatchuel and Weil's C-K theory with the General System and to think about how to integrate into it the two archetypal modes of thought defined by L. Vandermeersch: Greek causal thought and Chinese correlative thought.
