Abstract
Design practice is complex and multifaceted. Designing the form of three-dimensional objects, for example, involves the creation of a number of distinct, but related, design descriptions. This paper focuses on relations between the descriptions used to create three-dimensional designs, and analyses their use through shape rules derived from empirical studies of practice.
