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 work investigates the development of sneakers designed under Design for Disassembly principles and supported by additive manufacturing to promote a more sustainable and circular product life cycle. By responding to the limitations of traditional footwear assembly, the study identifies and organises 35 technical requirements derived from consumer needs. The proposed model offers a clear and adaptable framework that enhances decision-making in early design stages, guiding the creation of innovative, recyclable and environmentally responsible footwear solutions.
