Abstract;A new flexible and well defined method was developed to turn objects in the real world, designed to satisfy users' taste, into reusable design resources in cyber worlds by virtually decomposing the original design into parts. We show that we can repeat design processes efficiently by storing the information on part cell attachment as design information as well as by making part cell design processes homotopically equivalent. We then show the possibility of a new architecture of design database management systems to support flexible design and redesign. To demonstrate the power of the new method, bag design is selected as a simple and popular case. (author abst.)
