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 wastewater chain (WWC) of Amsterdam offers an opportunity to recover up to 5000 tons of phosphorus (P) per year, versus 500 tons currently valorized. Our study from 2018 showed 22 critical elements, 2 system patterns and 4 leverage points for effective system transformation. In 2019, Design Structure Matrix method was applied to compare 3 scenarios for P-recovery at house, neighborhood and city levels. Analysis of Change Propagation Indicators performed in Multi-Domain Mapping Matrix Model quantified critical elements and emergent changes in WWC. Analysis unveiled: (1) most effective point for system leverage is at house, neighborhood-second; (2) most effective design of intervention is a semi-autarkic decentralized solution. Integration of the 2 scenarios into WWC would prevent risks of a changes, clogging and wasting P; while offering a win-win-win-win business model to all stakeholders linked to the P case.

The DSM methodology applied within Soley Studio allows to compare scenarios.
