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:
Products, which support people’s autonomy and self-determination, have to be adapted to the users’ wishes, needs and circumstances. For the development of those products it is not sensible to focus on performance restrictions, but the whole circumstances have to be considered in the description of the system of objectives. The approach described here is based on
methods from socio sciences and allows to describe the users systematically. For this reason it is possible to get a more suitable description of the system of objectives. This procedure helps to reduce the development risk, as the aspects of acceptance are considered quite early in the design process.
