This paper presents a generic architecture for a design agent. The design agent is based on an existing generic agent model, and includes a refinement of a generic model for design, in which strategic reasoning and dynamic management of requirements are explicitly modelled. The generic architecture has been designed using the compositional development method DESmE, and has been used to develop a prototype design agent for automated agent design.
