> In most design fields, many design processing activities are directly or indirectly information-driven and knowledge-based. However, major storage, retrieval and processing tasks that are usually associated with design knowledge management are redundantly repeated for each design assignment. In addition to management problems, there is a deficiency in knowledge networking where information in different areas are not sufficiently linked. In other words, in many cases, knowledge existing in one discipline can inform and inspire problem solving methods in others if represented properly.

> This chapter introduces proposals of knowledge recycling and modeling where precedentbased prototypes can be reused to generate new designs. It also introduces an approach to knowledge transformation, where knowledge extracted in one discipline can inform innovative solutions in another. Both, knowledge recycling and transformation are argued to help eliminate redundant search for knowledge and aide in making knowledge base in one field more accessible and usable in another.
