TL;DR: Since design problems are quite complex, inaccurate and singular, successful solutions cannot be predicted beforehand (Suwa et al, 1999), one of the reasons why dealing with design problems requires high levels of creativity in addition to a lot of commitment and refined skills.

Abstract: Design problem solving is characterized by being ill-structured and non-routine. In contrast to well-structured problems, design problems cannot be clearly defined because initial conditions are not provided or are quite fuzzy, goals are not fully formulated or are confusing, and operators for solving problems cannot be directed by specified algorithms (Buchanan, 1992; Reitman, 1964; Rittel and Melving, 1984). According to Goldschmidt (1997) the designer needs to search and generate a large amount of additional information in order to represent the problem including the definition of its goal states, and to build channels that connect them. Since design problems are quite complex, inaccurate and singular, successful solutions cannot be predicted beforehand (Suwa et al, 1999). This is one of the reasons why dealing with design problems requires high levels of creativity in addition to a lot of commitment and refined skills.
