34th Design for X Symposium (DFX 2023)
DfX offers young scientists from the field of product development a platform for presenting new ideas and approaches to their research. (Abstract Submissions by 26 May 2023)
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 pressure of planetary boundaries led the author to develop a design-related sustainability assessment. That is why several existing methodologies like Resource Efficiency, Material Input per Unit of Service, Life Cycle Assessment and Product Environmental Footprint have been analyzed. These methods are screened in terms of their time horizon, usability and calculation rules. By coupling these different methods in a simplified chain, an internally complex but usable and time-efficient algorithm is created. It continuously supports the product development process and allows decisions and corrections to be made directly and immediately. An evaluation with industry partners on various demonstrators will be an integral part of the research in the future.
