NordDesign 2020
The NordDesign conferences serve as a Nordic complement to the larger international conferences in design and product development, but we also wish to welcome participants from all other countries.
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:
This paper discusses the design process of developing a temporary shelter for the displaced people in the post-flood settlements of the Brahmaputra Valley. The built culture of the affected community was documented by a selective study of flood-affected settlements to understand their lifestyle and the socio-cultural environment. We considered an iterative approach to develop a Bamboo Shelter Kit, made with consultation with the community. The community participation at each step of the design process has made it culturally appropriate and socially relevant.
