From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. No generally-accepted definition of “design” exists, and the term has different connotations in different fields (see design disciplines below). Informally, “a design” (noun) refers to a plan for the construction of an object (as in architectural blueprints, circuit diagrams and sewing patterns) and “to design” (verb) refers to making this plan. However, one can also design by directly constructing an object (as in pottery, cowboy coding and graphic design). More formally, design has been defined as follows.
Here, a "specification" can be manifested as either a plan or a finished product and "primitives" are the elements from which the design object is composed. With such a broad denotation, there is no universal language or unifying institution for designers of all disciplines. This allows for many differing philosophies and approaches toward the subject (see Philosophies and studies of design, below). The person designing is called a designer, which is also a term used for people who work professionally in one of the various design areas, usually also specifying which area is being dealt with (such as a fashion designer, concept designer or web designer). A designer’s sequence of activities is called a design process. The scientific study of design is called design science . Designing often necessitates considering the aesthetic, functional, economic and sociopolitical dimensions of both the design object and design process. It may involve considerable research, thought, modeling, interactive adjustment, and re-design. Meanwhile, diverse kinds of objects may be designed, including clothing, graphical user interfaces, skyscrapers, corporate identities, business processes and even methods of designing.

GNU Free Documentation License What design would you use to build a pyramid with the largest interior cavity, only using primative methods? Q. The design i was thinking about was a half oval (with 4 arches), with the open end down, and the pyramid built around it. The design should be structurally sound, and the construction materials used are only stone (like the egyptians). No current-day technologies can be used. Thanks for the help.

The big problem with your solution is that arches are not a contemporary technology - they came into existance long after the pyramids were built. That is why the chambers in the pyramids are relatively narrow and long, so that rock slabs could be used to span the gap. Some places used a kind of shelved over hang, like pushing a deck of cards to one side, to make a raised roof, but no balancing as you would find in an arch.
