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:
The purpose of this study is to know if risk takes place in designing and if so, to provide an understanding of risk underlying mechanisms and its influence in the design process. The study is a starting point to investigate the interplay and causal networks of ambiguity, risk and change (ARC) as properties of variables of design issues introduced in circumstances that ask for evaluation and decision, and that have the potential to increase or decrease uncertainty towards completion.
