Editorial summary of main conclusions.

This book is not about serving ready-made conclusions, or a 'how to'-guide of advanced engineering design. It hopes to serve as a 'sharp radiography' of current practices, being neither the ultimate diagnosis nor a prognosis. It is a reference, a starting point for the kind of questioning and dialectic that makes engineering design such a uniquely fascinating, challenging and rewarding human endeavour.
