The 35th Design for X Symposium (DFX 2024)
DfX offers young scientists from the field of product development a platform for presenting new ideas and approaches to their research. (Registration is now OPEN)
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 optimization of a product design with regard to sustainability criteria requires a predictive assessment of the lifecycle-wide impact. This paper presents a Systematic Literature Review to explore the integration of sustainability assessments in product design. It highlights the lack of correlation between lifecycle assessment results and design characteristics (DC). To address the gap in current approaches, it proposes a conceptual architecture, which semantically connects design characteristics with lifecycle impacts throughout a lifecycle design schema, facilitating automated lifecycle assessment (LCA) and enhancing design optimization. Future research topics are presented which focus on developing the semantic representation and the implementation in an industrial use case.
