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.

Abstract:
In this study, we investigate the design process of car making at a Japanese car company. Using 161 sketches that a designer produced during the car design process, we analyze which areas of the car body and types of manipulation were in focus in each phase of the design process. This type of analysis of design sketches, named “Art-ethnography,” is useful in understanding the creative process in car design.
