Abstract

This paper was initiated based on the conceptual framework of Ablution Function Mean Analysis relating to a phenomenon that impacts designer perception in developing new product development for religious-based design. Empirical observation of user-designer exploring the convergent process of ablution design development was set up. The ablution performed, the perceptions verbalized, and the different design principles targeted were analyzed from a qualitative and a quantitative point of view. This study's data were first measured to obtain an appreciation of Muslims performing ablution behaviour. The study focused on the product gestalt, recognising the design act of divergent and convergent transpires in a real context, and identifying the spontaneous control reflection that influences the resulting product perception.
