tervezés

Tervezés is the act of conceiving and detailing a plan or course of action to achieve a goal. In Hungarian usage, the term covers both design and planning, across many domains such as industrial design, graphic design, architecture, urban planning, software and systems design, and process planning in manufacturing or services.

Typical tervezés projects begin with goal definition, user or stakeholder analysis and problem framing. The next steps include research, requirements gathering, and constraints assessment. Ideation and concept development follow, often using sketches, models, and simulations. Prototyping and testing help validate ideas and reduce risk. The final stages are implementation and monitoring, with evaluation and iteration as needed.

Key methods reflect the domain: visual communication and typography in graphic design; product and interaction design in tech; architectural and urban design in built environments; process design in operations. Tools include sketching, CAD and BIM for technical design, computer-aided manufacturing, and UX research methods for software and digital services.

Education and profession: tervezés is taught in design schools and universities, often through bachelor's and master's programs. Practitioners may hold titles such as designer, architect, planner, or engineer, depending on domain, and often belong to professional bodies that set ethics and standards.

Contemporary tervezés emphasizes user-centeredness, sustainability, accessibility, and collaboration across disciplines, adapting to digital transformation and rapid prototyping while balancing technical feasibility, cost, and social impact.
