設計是一個設計師為了解決問題而產生的複雜活動集合，此複雜的活動包含
了許多因子於其中，其介入與互動都關乎並影響著設計的流程，並在設計的
發展中扮演著重要的角色。
以描述式模型為出發，研究五條港藝術介入空間計畫，試圖藉由建構一個模
型，以描述此一複雜的設計活動，並試圖研究出如何能運用該描述式模型，
使人能閱讀該設計流程，並從中獲得助益。
立基在Maher (2000) 提出的共同演化模型(Co-Evolution Model)之上，設
計過程中造成設計”問題”(problem)以及設計”解法”(solution)之間共
同演化的諸多要素、活動將被歸納為”橋接”(bridge)，作為研究設計過程
裡，問題與解法間共同演化現象另一種方式。
經過口語分析（protocol analysis）以及探究這些活動的設計流程，得以
了解設計師劉國滄在社區操作設計活動的方式，並且發現到社區中的事件以
及活動會緊密關聯，並且彼此互動影響設計過程。
未來的研究建議可以關注如何使描述式的模型能夠更全面的考量各種設計
過程中的影響因子。以本研究為例，設計對於其環境以及設計師的後續影響
是顯著且值得被關注的。

Designing is a complex action that contains many different activities in order to
solve certain problems that a designer encounters. Within these activities, different
factors and elements interact to influence the design process.
Taking a descriptive model as a start, this research attempts to further develop a
model to be able to describe complex design activities, in this case the Five-Canal
Art Project, to investigate how far the proposed descriptive model could make the
audience learn from the described case.
This research attempts to add a layer onto the original coevolution model by
Maher (2000), by identifying the “bridge” between the problem and the solution
in the design process, e.g., other elements or activities in the design process that
guide the problems to the solutions or make the solutions refocus the
requirements.
After the investigation and analysis, with the schema of process of the design
activities, we can find how Kuo-Chang Liu manipulates the design activities in the
community, and also be surprised how so many activities in the community can be
interrelated and dynamically interacting with the design process.
Future works could be focused on making the descriptive model more
comprehensively acknowledge the elements of the design process. In this case,
how to capture the influence of the design to its situation and designer after the
design process might be an interesting point to look into as well.
