在工程师和设计师能够适应构建概念原型的想法之前，他们需要了解原型不仅是评估概念的有效方法，而且也是探索概念的有效方法。这种理解依赖于一种更深层次的认识，即并非所有关于真实的产品或系统的问题都适合数学分析或模拟：存在着一些问题，通常是定性的，即使它们不能用分析的方式表达，也必须回答。“原型作为正式评估的一种手段，在整个设计过程中只占相对较小的一部分。原型是设计师有机地、进化地学习、发现、生成和改进设计的手段。它们是深深嵌入和沉浸在设计实践中的设计思维推动者，而不仅仅是评估或证明设计成果成功或失败的工具。[1]第一章
此外，随着设计师在开发过程的模糊前端的参与增加，原型的定义和原型的活动也在发展。什么是服务的原型？为未来的体验构建原型所需的材料是什么？你如何对行为变化或转型进行原型化？
Before engineers and designers can become comfortable with the idea of building conceptual prototypes, they need to understand that prototyping is a valid method for not only for evaluation but also for exploration of concepts. This understanding depends on a deeper recognition that not all questions regarding a real product or system are amenable to mathematical analysis or simulation: there exist questions, often of a qualitative nature, that are necessary to answer even though they cannot be expressed analytically. “Prototypes as a mean of formal evaluation are a relatively small part of the entire design process. Prototypes are the means in which designers organically and evolutionarily learn, discover, generate and refine designs. They are design-thinking enablers deeply embedded and immersed in design practice and not just tools for evaluating or proving successes or failures of design outcomes”. [1]
Furthermore, as designers’ participation in the fuzzy front end of the development process increases, the definition of prototype and the activity of prototyping evolve. What is a prototype of a service? What are the materials needed to build prototypes for future experiences? How do you prototype behavioral change or transformation?
