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:
The British Standards Committee TDW/7 is responsible for publishing the ‘Design for Manufacture
and Un-manufacture’ standard BS8887. This committee includes academic members. As a
contribution to design education, this paper explains their use of standards in teaching, particularly
with respect to sustainable design. The paper starts with an overview of their use, suggesting
advantages and disadvantages. Case study examples are given of their use in four UK Universities
and it is concluded that they can give a significant advantage in design teaching.
