Frascara, Jorge (author), Gardien, Paul (author), Noël, Guillermina (author), Rosenberg, Daniel (author), Stappers, P.J. (author), Wilde, Danielle (author)Design skills and methods have been at the conceptual foundation of the design discipline(s) for at least the past half century. Over this period, design has also changed, focusing on new outcomes, serving new goals, and addressing different scales and broader application areas. On the one hand, there is a large set of methods and tools; on the...conference paper 2024

Arfa, F. (author), Lubelli, B. (author), Quist, W.J. (author), Zijlstra, H. (author)Adaptive reuse (AR) of heritage buildings is a complex process involving many stakeholders with different ambitions. Recently, a theoretical model has been proposed to facilitate this process. However, the validation of this model and investigation of the nexus between process steps, methods/tools used by architects, and the effectiveness of...journal article 2024

Candade, A.A. (author)Airborne wind energy (AWE) is an emerging renewable energy technology that harnesses wind energy using tethered flying systems. The extra degrees of freedom allow these systems to harvest wind resources at altitudes currently unrealisable by conventional turbines. These flying devices, often resembling kites or drones, are typically divided into...doctoral thesis 2023

Jung, Jiwon (author)The research question of this doctoral thesis is: What can be the future impact of design (activities) in digital health, given the rise of data collection and analysis technologies? I answered this question on three knowledge levels: design vision, knowledge-generating approach, and design tool. In Chapter 1, I envision design activities for...doctoral thesis 2023

Hollander, Kevin (author)Our world is going through several transitions at the time of writing. One of them is the digital transition. The digital transition changes the way we interact with each other, it gives us new ways to learn, new ways to work. It changes how society functions on a global scale. The digital transition makes people more individualised. It means...master thesis 2023

Hou, Z. (author)In this thesis, we explore how lens design and optimization techniques can adapt to the design (optimization) space in order to increase the lens design efficiency. We extensively discuss the Saddle Point Construction (SPC), a method that can systematically search for new solutions, as well as replace high-dimensional searches with a discrete...doctoral thesis 2023

(author), Mauri, Andrea (author), Urquhart, Lachlan D (author), Vines, John (author), Wilson, Cara (author), Pschetz, Larissa (author), Rozendaal, M.C. (author), Shklovski, Irina (author)Sensor networks are increasingly commonplace in visions of smart cities and future healthcare systems, promising greater efficiency and increased wellbeing. However, the design of these technologies remains focused on specific users and fragmented by context, overlooking the diversity of needs, wants and values present when technologies, people,...conference paper 2023

Stappers, P.J. (author), Sleeswijk Visser, F. (author), van Boeijen, A.G.C. (author)"This paper explores the limitations and functions of design labels, such as social design, codesign, and sustainable design. It argues for a clearer and more nuanced approach to describing design practices. The authors collected over seventy of such labels and categorized them into five clusters. Four of these clusters derive their name from a...conference paper 2023

Vega-Garita, Victor (author), Alpizar-Gutierrez, Veronica (author), Alpizar Castillo, J.J. (author)Along with the widespread adoption of solar energy, it is fundamental to develop methods and tools that help practitioners during the design phase of photovoltaic (PV) systems. Currently, multiple commercial software can quantify a particular location's annual energy yield while including the horizon's shading effect (e.g., mountains,...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

Thoring, K.C. (author), Mueller, Roland M. (author), Lecuna, Alejandro (author), Badke-Schaub, P.G. (author)Practitioners design artifacts of different kinds. Researchers and practitioners both create methods for designing such artifacts. The question arises whether those methods are actually valid and useful. In this conceptual paper, we argue that there is a need for “method corroboration”-the deliberate and reflected use and possible validation...conference paper 2023

WEI, RANZHI (author)In the early conceptual stage of design, novice designers and professionals experience different levels of fixation. Design tools and workflows can support designers to explore creative opportunities. Patent data tool for engineering design purposes is one example, using the design-by-analogy method to facilitate divergent ideation. This work...master thesis 2022

Boorsma, N.E. (author)BoorsmaRemanufacturing is one of the product recovery approaches in a circular economy. In the remanufacturing production process, used products are returned to their original product specifications. When compared to original manufacturing, remanufacturing results in lower raw material consumption and reduces carbon emissions. Despite having...doctoral thesis 2022

Schoenmakers, Max (author)This research is aimed at creating a generic design method for infiltration drywells on sandy soils by acquiring knowledge on the functioning of these wells. Infiltration drywells are vertical infiltration pipes that are installed above the groundwater table and through which stormwater is drained to the subsurface. Infiltration drywells can...master thesis 2022

Ho, Chia-Yu (author)Designing with data helps the service providers to monitor and gain deeper insights from users. However, there are not many design methods of data-enabled design for most design teams to rely on. This research focuses on the early exploratory phase of the design process. The goal was to find a solution that could assist in contextualizing the...master thesis 2022
