+**System design** is the process of defining the architecture, components, and interfaces of a system. It translates high-level [requirements](/wiki/requirements) into a detailed plan for implementation, ensuring the system can meet its intended purpose and achieve [scalability](/wiki/scalability). This discipline forms the blueprint before construction begins across various engineering fields.
