2. 16. Textile Influence : exploring the relationship between textiles and products in the design process

   Author : Linnéa Nilsson; Högskolan i Borås; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Smart textiles; textile print; thermo chromic print; dynamic patterns; material composites; complexity; design practice; design tools; Textiles and Fashion Design ; Textil och mode konstnärlig ;

   Abstract : Textile materials and textile design are a part of countless products in our surroundings,as well as diverse design fields and industries, each of which has very different materialtraditions and working methods. The aim of this thesis is to add to our understandingof the relationship between textiles and products in the design process, and to explorehow textiles enter and influence product design processes and how products functionin textile design processes.

5. 18. PENSIERI - An Inquiry into Sketching and Modelling in Design

   Author : Maral Babapour Chafi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Physical and Digital Modelling; Sketching; Design Activities; Concept Generation; Product Representations;

   Abstract : When proposing ideas for design solutions, designers often make representations, for example sketches and models of different kinds. This thesis seeks to examine what designers do when interacting with different media to externalise their ideas, and the resources they have at their disposal. READ MORE

6. 19. Anthropometric diversity and consideration of human capabilities

   Author : Erik Brolin; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Human Factors; Ergonomics; Simulation; Anthropometry; Workplace Design; Diversity; Product Design; Accommodation; Digital Human Modelling; Visualisation; Multi-Dimensional;

   Abstract : Contemporary product and production development is typically carried out with the support of computer tools where the design of products and workstations are originated and evaluated within virtual environments. Ergonomics addresses factors important to consider in the product and production development process to ensure a good fit between humans and the items being designed. READ MORE

7. 20. Beyond the Product – Enabling design services in small and medium sized enterprises

   Author : Magnus Eneberg; Industridesign; []
