Knowledge Base Repository
In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters. Please note that these resources are accessible exclusively to Design Society members.

Abstract:
Considering one of the objectives of product design, which is to generate as many alternative solutions as possible in order to be able to select those which are truly the best, it makes sense to look for additional methods that will enable the generation of alternative solutions. It is believed that knowledge twisting supports this objective. Knowledge twisting is a kind of manipulation of Physics P/Structure S/Design D (as mental objects) in order to achieve new Function(s) F . It is believed that awareness of the existence of alternative concepts for generating solutions will contribute to the search for straightforward methods for their implementation.
