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:
Guidelines, in the form of rules and instructions, are a commonly used support for analysis and synthesis in the field of ecodesign. This paper considers the heuristic nature of ecodesign-guidelines and argues for the necessity to gain a deeper understanding on this subject-matter and the potential of a method to support the formulation of new heuristics by ecodesign experts. Based on the theory of heuristics and literature concerning guidelines a new approach for a formalized guideline-documentation is proposed, which uses additional information to increase the usability and effectiveness of ecodesign guidelines.
