Composing composites: a paradigm of reversed design
DOI: 10.1504/JDR.2007.014878
S. Koussios, A. BeukersThe challenging task of designing a structure that provides optimal properties while satisfying an extensive collection of sometimes conflicting requirements seems to get more complicated when composite materials are to be applied. The reas...302 - 316
|Belvedere| office tower Rotterdam: structural design of a sloping hybrid high-rise
DOI: 10.1504/JDR.2007.014878
J.N.J.A. VamberskyThe ambitions of architects to realise exciting designs that challenge gravity and |defy| the laws of nature are never-ending. An example is the 100 m high sloping office tower |Belvedere| in Rotterdam, designed by the architect Renzo Piano...317 - 332
Enabling distributed multi-disciplinary design of complex products: a knowledge based engineering approach
DOI: 10.1504/JDR.2007.014878
G. La Rocca, M.J.L. Van ToorenIn this paper, it is discussed how knowledge based engineering has been exploited to develop a flexible design system, able to integrate a heterogeneous set of distributed discipline-specific design and analysis tools into a modular design ...333 - 352
Creativity and innovation in industrial design: wishful thinking?
DOI: 10.1504/JDR.2007.014878
P. Badke-SchaubThis paper provides insights into non-technical characteristics influencing creativity in design. Describing designing as a process that is determined by a network of influences from several fields implies a broader view on innovation and c...353 - 367
Design of a ground-penetrating radar for humanitarian demining
DOI: 10.1504/JDR.2007.014878
P. Van Genderen, A.G. YarovoyThis paper describes the process of the design of radar for application in a system for humanitarian demining. The application requires new solutions to assist in solving the problem of clearing of areas of anti-personnel mines. The initial...368 - 381
Design in socio-technical system development: three angles in a common framework
DOI: 10.1504/JDR.2007.014878
Pieter W.G. BotsLarge-scale socio-technical systems, such as infrastructures for transport, energy and telecommunication, are not designed and then constructed according to plan. Rather, they develop over a long period of time as a result of countless chan...382 - 396
