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:
This study investigates the challenges of dynamic value integration in complex innovation projects. Difficulties stem not from a lack of willingness, but from a persistent lack of re-openability in design governance systems. This study identifies a triple closure mechanism that filters out evolving stakeholder values. The paper reframes value integration from a technical problem to a political-institutional process, arguing for an Adaptive Governance Infrastructure designed to manage the necessary tension between static and re-opening.
