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:
As a result of easier and faster iterations during the design process, the management of design changes, their propagation and their impacts are likely to become increasingly important in future. This paper uses a simulation model to investigate whether, and to what degree, a better understanding of how change propagates could help mitigate some of the risks to project performance that will arise from the increased dynamic complexity in future design environments. We conclude that accurate prediction of change propagation only a few steps ahead could significantly reduce unnecessary rework.
