 | | Galathea is a navigator aimed at guiding designers in the description, mapping and management of the complete decision-making path of projects by means of the dynamical representation of the relationship between goals, constraints and the decisions/actions adopted at specific nodes. |
 | | We also view it with the aid of the metaphor of a navigator, or map-maker, (hence the name Galathea), since it enables designers to explore their own personal route which, in the space of possible, or chosen, solutions, leads to the temporary adoption, evaluation, adaptation and final execution of the intended one. |
 | | In this view, the tool is a navigator skilled in the exploration and construction of a route (characterised by its being unique and unrepeatable), rather than a driver skilled at choosing the most appropriate previously defined road. |
