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:
General principles of constructive design actions – based on the qualitative analysis of established conceptions and experts’ statements of technical and non-technical (artistic) design processes – are presented and discussed. On the basis of the derived continuum of design processes the discipline “Technisches Design” (Technical Design) is categorized. Individual design processes in this discipline are regarded as multiple and complex problem solving processes (consisting of so called sub-problems). These sub-problems are characterized as belonging rather to the technical or the artistic pole of the continuum. Finally, a preview with regard to the consequences of the results – e.g. the support of design processes– is given.
