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:
This article describes one of the research studies carried out by LEMA, the Laboratory for the Study of Architectural Methodology, on the representation of the design process in architectural design. On the basis of an experiment, described here by the comparison of two complete examples, we describe which characteristics can enable us to distinguish a formal approach to the design (the architectural concept is the basis of the process) of a functional approach (the concept is formed by the process).
