Abstract
Interdisciplinary approach is seen as solution for more comprehensive designs. However, interdisciplinary knowledge sharing encounters many issues, due to disciplinary ontology and human subjective understanding. This paper introduces a Kansei Information viewpoint on these issues and suggests a design method based on intuition. This method proposes to add to the SECI Model, an Evoked Metaphor, defined as a set of intuitively transferable and validated information and operating laws. The Evoked Metaphor permits tacit and explicit knowledge sharing thanks to the mental process of intuition This sharing knowledge structure is inserted into the design process to support interdisciplinary communication between members during the entire project.
