The current research dealt with the rapid development of industrial product design in recent times, and this development in the field of design led to the emergence of modern trends in many terms and ...theories to direct greater interest in the cognitive foundations of design and its relationship with the components of other natural sciences, and despite the impressive technological development, nature remains With its content of formative values and structural dimensions, it is the first source of inspiration and the source of all modern mathematical sciences and theories, as God made them tend towards organization to continue to provide us with endless inspiration. Hence, the fractional one, which is an important part of dedicating the design identity, as well as symmetry, complexity, self-organization and difference, and gives a new entrance and vision for the formation of forms characterized by complexity and of great importance to enrich the design process. The problem was identified by the following question: Defining the concept of fractionalism and its implications in the design of industrial products. The research included two important topics. We will address them successively.
Sketching User Experiences approaches design and design thinking as something distinct that needs to be better understood—by both designers and the people with whom they need to work— in order to ...achieve success with new products and systems. So while the focus is on design, the approach is holistic. Hence, the book speaks to designers, usability specialists, the HCI community, product managers, and business executives. There is an emphasis on balancing the back- end concern with usability and engineering excellence (getting the design right) with an up-front investment in sketching and ideation (getting the right design). Overall, the objective is to build the notion of informed design: molding emerging technology into a form that serves our society and reflects its values. Grounded in both practice and scientific research, Bill Buxton's engaging work aims to spark the imagination while encouraging the use of new techniques, breathing new life into user experience design. * Covers sketching and early prototyping design methods suitable for dynamic product capabilities: cell phones that communicate with each other and other embedded systems, "smart" appliances, and things you only imagine in your dreams * Thorough coverage of the design sketching method which helps easily build experience prototypes—without the effort of engineering prototypes which are difficult to abandon * Reaches out to a range of designers, including user interface designers, industrial designers, software engineers, usability engineers, product managers, and others * Full of case studies, examples, exercises, and projects, and access to video clips that demonstrate the principles and methods

Design Research Through Practice: From the Lab, Field, and Showroom focuses on one type of contemporary design research known as constructive design research. It looks at three approaches to ...constructive design research: Lab, Field, and Showroom. The book shows how theory, research practice, and the social environment create commonalities between these approaches. It illustrates how one can successfully integrate design and research based on work carried out in industrial design and interaction design. The book begins with an overview of the rise of constructive design research, as well as constructive research programs and methodologies. It then describes the logic of studying design in the laboratory, design ethnography and field work, and the origins of the Showroom and its foundation on art and design rather than on science or the social sciences. It also discusses the theoretical background of constructive design research, along with modeling and prototyping of design items. Finally, it considers recent work in Lab that focuses on action and the body instead of thinking and knowing. Many kinds of designers and people interested in design will find this book extremely helpful. * Gathers design research experts from traditional lab science, social science, art, industrial design, UX and HCI to lend tested practices and how they can be used in a variety of design projects * Provides a multidisciplinary story of the whole design process, with proven and teachable techniques that can solve both academic and practical problems * Presents key examples illustrating how research is applied and vignettes summarizing the key how-to details of specific projects
How are we to understand the changing role of design and designers in the new age of consumer experience? Drawing on perspectives from cultural studies, design management, marketing, new product ...development and communications theory, The Design Experience explores the contexts, practices and roles of designers in today's world, providing an accessible introduction to the key issues reshaping design. The book begins by analysing how consumers acquire meaning and identity from product and other experiences made possible by design. It then explores issues of competitiveness, innovation and management in the context of industry and commerce. If designers are creators of human experiences, what does this mean for their future role in culture and commerce? Subsequent chapters look at new ways in which designers conduct user research and how designers should communicate about design and decision-making with key stakeholders. The authors conclude with a discussion of the design 'profession': will that label be a help or hindrance for tomorrow's designer? Written for students of design, design management, cultural and business studies, The Design Experience is also of interest to practitioners of design, marketing and management. Illustrated case study material is integrated into the text, and the book also includes a glossary, and extensive references.
When an innovation is inspired by design, it transcends technology and utility. The design delights the user, seamlessly integrating the physical object, a service, and its use into something whole. ...A design-inspired innovation is so simple that it becomes an extension of the user. It creates meaning and a new language.
In der Bauwirtschaft ist aus wirtschaftlicher, gesellschaftlicher und umweltpolitischer Sicht der Druck nach kosten- und flächensparendem nachhaltigem Bauen evident. Auch wenn der Begriff ..."Nachhaltigkeit" selbst durch seinen inflationären Gebrauch oftmals schon etwas abgenutzt wirkt, nimmt nachhaltiges Bauen auf hohem Niveau im Bausektor mittlerweile eine zentrale Stellung ein. Eine Renaissance des mehrgeschossigen Holzbaus setzte in Österreich mit der Harmonisierung der bautechnischen Vorschriften - OIB Richtlinien ein. Der moderne Holzbau der Rahmenbauweise zeichnet sich sowohl durch seine ökologischen Vorzüge und als mehrheitlich, nachwachsende Ressource als auch durch den hohen produktionstechnischen, witterungsunabhängigen Vorfertigungsgrad und dem damit verbundenen vergleichbar kostengünstigen Baumaterial aus. In einer Projektstudie eines mehrgeschossigen Wohnbaues wird die Wirtschaftlichkeit der Bauweisen Holzrahmen und Stahlbeton anhand des DCF Verfahrens und des Ertragswertverfahrens beleuchtet. Ausgehend von der Herstellung der bauphysikalischen Äquivalenz beider Baumaterialien, wie Wärme- und Schalldämmwerten, Brandschutz, sowie der Gegenüberstellung der Herstellungskosten wird anhand der DCF Methode ein immobilienwirtschaftlicher Vergleich der beiden Bauweisen über den Zeitraum von 10 Jahren gezogen.
An exploration of how design might be led by marginalized communities, dismantle structural inequality, and advance collective liberation and ecological survival.
From the Werkbund to the Bauhaus to Braun, from furniture to automobiles to consumer appliances, twentieth-century industrial design is closely associated with Germany. In this pathbreaking study, ...Paul Betts brings to light the crucial role that design played in building a progressive West German industrial culture atop the charred remains of the past.The Authority of Everyday Objectsdetails how the postwar period gave rise to a new design culture comprising a sprawling network of diverse interest groups-including the state and industry, architects and designers, consumer groups and museums, as well as publicists and women's organizations-who all identified industrial design as a vital means of economic recovery, social reform, and even moral regeneration. These cultural battles took on heightened importance precisely because the stakes were nothing less than the very shape and significance of West German domestic modernity. Betts tells the rich and far-reaching story of how and why commodity aesthetics became a focal point for fashioning a certain West German cultural identity. This book is situated at the very crossroads of German industry and aesthetics, Cold War politics and international modernism, institutional life and visual culture.
This book discusses the most significant ways in which design has been applied to sustainability challenges using an evolutionary perspective. It puts forward an innovation framework that is capable ...of coherently integrating multiple design for sustainability (DfS) approaches developed so far. It is now widely understood that design can and must play a crucial role in the societal transformations towards sustainability. Design can in fact act as a catalyst to trigger and support innovation, and can help to shape the world at different levels: from materials to products, product–service systems, social organisations and socio-technical systems. This book offers a unique perspective on how DfS has evolved in the past decades across these innovation levels, and provides insights on its promising and necessary future development directions. For design scholars, this book will trigger and feed the academic debate on the evolution of DfS and its next research frontiers. For design educators, the book can be used as a supporting tool to design courses and programmes on DfS. For bachelor’s and master’s level design, engineering and management students, the book can be a general resource to provide an understanding of the historical evolution of DfS. For design practitioners and businesses, the book offers a rich set of practical examples, design methods and tools to apply the various DfS approaches in practice, and an innovation framework which can be used as a tool to support change in organisations that aim to integrate DfS in their strategy and processes.
