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:
Mapping among several domains allows different aspects of the design process to be put in relation. Considering that the DSM data structure is able to capture much information of a single part of the product development process, the DMM allows different domains to be linked. The first mapping matrix employed in the design process connects the functional and the physical domain. It describes how the functionalities are explained and by which elements. The Design Matrix of the Axiomatic Design approach is intrinsically a mapping matrix, and describes the relation between functional requirements and design parameters. It is a candidate to be part of the MDM data structure, being addressed to guide the solution to problems during the product design. The paper discusses the nature of the Design Matrix and compares it with the first DMM of the MDM process. On the basis of a case study differences and similarities are pointed out.
