There are many design process floating in the architecture discipline today. This paper intends to briefly enlist and analyze couple design processes. Each one is paradoxical in nature. Each one claims to be complete in itself; whilst still they are all a process; and still in process. All have similarity and differences; many come from the same roots, they have varied nomenclature for same meaning; there is a multi-layered paradox within and between them. Most of the stages enlisted in the processes have missing interconnects; for examples from the point of identifying concept to defining a design. The “inter-connect” is needed to be researched on; rather than exploring another new paradoxical design process. This paper proposes one possible interconnect between concept and design, through experiments conducted in design studios. The “inter-connect” is a paradigm in itself as it will set basis for many more such “inter-connects” to be developed. It is also a paradox in itself because it is a sub-process to the main design process.
