While the specialization and professionalization of industrial design and engineering
design brought people's life rich, it also produced many negative legacies because of
difficulties, including sharing design information in collaborative designs. In order to solve
these problems produced by subdivision of a design, the new viewpoint for the integration
of each subdivided design is required. Firstly, this paper summarizes the context of
conventional design which results in subdivision of a design. Secondly, this paper describes
a framework for design science as the new viewpoint for the integration of each subdivided
design. Moreover, this paper describes the multispace design model as a framework of
design theory and design reasoning. Finally, this paper introduces the study on the
integration of industrial design and engineering design based on the framework for design
science and the view of the design in the 21
st
century.
