We have observed in the methodologies of the importance of design prototypes. However, we not that its use is left to the final stages of the project, which limit the design evaluation. The term prototype has been used to designate a final version of the project. However, we can treat them more widely as an approximation of the product, system or its components, which can be classified as low, medium and high fidelity. When we consider the prototype artifacts as mediators of information and communication, we use it as a design management tool. The management and comparison of information on the functionality, usability and aesthetcs of alternative perfom a more precise selection. The purpose of the prototype stages of use and the emergence of new technologies and virtual prototyping and rapid manufacturing, encourage their greater use and allowed the creation of a new design methodology. This will assist designers in the development of projects by choosing the most appropriate to each area, stage, stage design and purpose of the prototype. Accordingly, in this research, we constructed and validated a methodology called Design Methodology Mediated prototypes. methodology that puts this prototype in the center of the design process by creating a process-centered design in the prototypes
