| Abstract: |
Every design process is intended to devise a solution (S) to a problem (P). Bridge design is a creative activity, more cognitive (deliberate or spontaneous) than emotional. A sequence of steps where a designer should stop to go from P to S can be set. Although they cannot guarantee that S will be the best of the solutions, following a methodological approach as the one outlined in this article, a good solution which satisfactorily meets all the project requirements shouldn't be a pipe- dream. |
