In every science or field of work, professionals use principles to design high-quality solutions.
Principles, because of their nature, can be reused in other fields of work if they are made accessible and understandable.
The Dragon1 Open Standard for Principles structures and reformulates key principles in various sciences and fields of work to make them better reusable in other sciences and fields.
Principles are most important for architects when creating designs.
