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:
Implementing novel interaction modalities to CAD systems is raising questions about suitability of types of thinking employed and appropriateness of existing workflows used in CAD in this new context. The study reported in this paper explores the potential for introduction of alternative activities into existing workflows, proposed by designers interacting with 3D shapes using gestural interaction. Findings propose introduction of sculpting and forming paradigms that may reduce the amount of work required to create more complex forms.
