Abstract
Principles of self organization are discussed as a frame of reference and a source of ideas for new design processes that can deal with more complexity in less time. It is demonstrated that set-based concurrent engineering makes effective use of these principles. Taking this idea one step further, an evolutionary organization for design processes is proposed.
