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:
A method was developed to investigate which shape modification activities are performed during early design. We compared how designers ideally could create shape, to how they do it in practice, when using clay. With this method we were able to identify parameters and constraints that play a role during individual activities. Further research will be directed to select a set of parameters and constraints that support modeling activities during shape ideation and can be implemented in CAD software.
