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:
With respect to structured design processes, physical models are developed with the intention to give additional insight to the analytical, explorative, creative, detailing and materialisation design activities of the designer. In design education, the final two activities are often underemphasised in a structured design process, as educators tend to teach students to focus on defining problems and developing creative design solution at a strategic and conceptual level. Modes of representation in the form of holistic physical models are then developed to complement the understanding on these early stages of design activities. The neglect of detailing and materialisation activities, because of time constraints, increased accessibility to other modes of presentation such as CAD, or students
