Addressing the subject of Case-Based Reasoning in design, this paper reports on a series of in-depth interviews with expert architects/design teachers about the role of cases in design practice and education. Several ingredients of the Case-Based Design (CBD) recipe turned out to occur in real-world design, albeit in a subtler version than CBD researchers usually assume. The paper focuses primarily on design in architecture, yet the findings may be relevant for other design domains as well.
