Morales Ornelas, H.C. (author), Kleinsmann, M.S. (author), Kortuem, G.W. (author)Evidence-based practices play an essential role in the development of eHealth systems. Prior research has investigated the challenge of shared understanding between professionals from the fields of health sciences and design and has highlighted the need for effective alignment of development and research practices in eHealth. However, there is a...journal article 2023

Cash, Philip (author), Daalhuizen, Jaap (author), Hekkert, P.P.M. (author)The increasingly transdisciplinary context of design, where designers collaborate with other disciplinary and domain experts, means there is a growing need to evidence the effectiveness of design methods. We address this need in two ways. First, we propose a ‘chain of evidence’, from motivation to claims, operationalising this in a systematic...journal article 2023

Chen, Ruihua (author), Bos-de Vos, M. (author), Mulder, I. (author), van Eldik, Zoë (author)Christopher Alexander’s Pattern Language Theory (PLT) has been recognized as a valuable methodology to understand complex systems. It has been applied across domains through a variety of different approaches. This article reviews exist-ing approaches to PLT application and reflects upon the differences between them. We find that application...journal article 2023

Joustra, J.J. (author), Bakker, C.A. (author), Bessai, R. (author), Balkenende, R. (author)The design of composite products for a circular economy is challenging. Materials such as glass-fibre-reinforced plastics have long product lifetimes but are hard to recycle. For the effective reuse and recycling of products, parts, and materials, recovery strategies must be selected and implemented in the product design stage. This extends the...journal article 2022

van der Velde, J.R.T. (author), Pouderoijen, M.T. (author), van Bergen, J. (author), Bobbink, I. (author), van Loon, F.D. (author), Piccinini, D. (author), Jauslin, D.T. (author)The multi-dimensionality of BwN calls for the incorporation of ‘designerly ways of knowing and doing’ from other fields involved in this new trans-disciplinary approach. The transition out of a focus on rational design paradigms towards reflective design paradigms such as those employed in the spatial design disciplines may be a first step in...journal article 2021

Huang, S. (author), Carulli, M. (author), Hekkert, P.P.M. (author), Schifferstein, Hendrik N.J. (author), Bordegoni, M (author)Within the scope of Design for Sustainable Behaviour, the connection between behavioural change strategies and design idea generation has received limited attention. This paper highlights metaphorical thinking in product design to stimulate sustainable behaviour. In particular, the current study proposes a metaphor-based design method to guide...conference paper 2020

Faludi, Jeremy (author), Yiu, Felix (author), Agogino, Alice (author)Recommendations of sustainable design methods are usually based on theory, not empirical industry tests. Furthermore, since professionals often mix components of different design methods, recommending whole methods may not be relevant. It may be better to recommend component activities or mindsets. To provide empirical grounding for...journal article 2020

Ozkaramanli, D. (author), Desmet, P.M.A. (author), Ozcan Vieira, E. (author)Users often have conflicting concerns (i.e., dilemmas), such as ‘embracing change vs. following tradition.’ Design can resolve these dilemmas through simultaneously fulfilling conflicting user concerns. This paper proposes three abstraction levels for framing user concerns when formulating dilemmas. In a large-scale industry project, we...journal article 2018

de Koeijer, Bjorn (author), Wever, R. (author), Henseler, Jörg (author)Recent years have shown a shift in the focus of sustainable development from eco-efficiency (minimizing negative impacts) towards eco-effectiveness (optimizing positive impacts). Currently, a focus on circular models can be identified; Cradle to Cradle and circular economy are main examples of such models. However, the current number and...journal article 2017

Calvi, L. (author), Vermeeren, A.P.O.S. (author)In this paper, we introduce a unique approach to designing museum experiences for small museums. This approach entails methods for end users and stakeholders to collaboratively design experiences without the direct involvement of design professionals, and a platform for embodying the required design knowledge to do so, based on DIY technology...conference paper 2015

Loussos, P. (author), Konstantinou, T. (author), Van den Dobbelsteen, A.A.J.F. (author), Bokel, R. (author)The existing building stock has been in the focus of European Union policies for energy savings. Nevertheless, energy certification schemes refer mostly to operational energy and usually do not consider aspects related to the life cycle of the building. To look at the overall energy cost during the lifespan of a building, the energy used to...journal article 2015

Tromp, N. (author), Hekkert, P.P.M. (author)The role of design in changing people’s behaviour and causing social implications has been referred to as an inherent aspect of design. In taking responsibility for this influence of design, emphasis is often placed on the prevention of undesired consequences rather than the realization of desired ones. Little research exists on how to exploit...conference paper 2014

Mendes, L.T. (author), Beirão, J.N. (author), Duarte, J.P. (author), Celani, G. (author)This paper presents the analysis of a bottom-up design system using shape grammars. This research is part of a larger study that proposes the development of a generic grammar to improve the quality of site development in social housing plans, including the improvement of their public spaces. We show the use of shape grammars as an analytical...conference paper 2013

Ianni, M. (author), Sanchez de Leon, M. (author)In current architectural practice some important changes are taking place because of the development of numerous Building Performance Simulations (BPS) tools to support design decisions during early phases of the design process. Many difficulties still persist, however, not necessarily due to the limitations of the available technology, but to...conference paper 2013

Badarnah Kadri, L. (author)Several biomimetic design strategies are available for various applications, though the research on biomimetics as a design tool in architecture is still challenging. This is due to a lack of systematic design tools required for identifying relevant organisms, or natural systems, and abstracting the corresponding generic principles for...doctoral thesis 2012

De Boer, R.J. (author)The aim of this research is to contribute to the body of knowledge on mental models in the fields of design methodology, engineering psychology and human factors by studying the resistance of mental models to change. In this work the term cognitive resistance is introduced as the capacity to endure stimuli from the environment that contradict...doctoral thesis 2012

Binnekamp, R. (author)Architectural design is a complex process as a result of two prominent characteristics of choice making: 1) multiple designs can fit into one intended purpose, which raises the question: how to choose the design that fits best, and 2) a multitude of decision makers have an interest in the design process, which is the problem of group choice...doctoral thesis 2010

Gielen, M.A. (author)The paper aims at contributing to the professional development of toy design education programs. It draws from the practice of a children’s toy design course at Delft University of Technology. It identifies three major concepts that greatly influence toy quality and that students find difficult to understand and apply: aimlessness, empathy and...journal article 2009
