Abstract The notion of a ‘primary generator’ (PG), proposed by Jane Drake, refers to a selfimposed broad objective that drives designing. PGs are important for designers as conceptual compasses for navigating design problems. Therefore, it is essential to understand how they are employed in designing. As most accounts of PGs are retrospective, they may exclude momentary events which are central to explaining human designing. Capitalizing on Darke’s hint regarding the interactive nature of formulating and using PGs (consistent with recent studies on situatedness in design), we examine the ways in which PGs drive design in real-time. A close analysis of a design task results in an elaboration of the original concept, revealing a set of action patterns that are potentially generalizable to other design tasks. Theses serve as a step in systematically modeling such processes, towards their implementation in computational design systems.
