Approach of Optimized Planning Process for Exoskeleton Centered Workplace Design

Document centered approach to design process modeling

Product and process models are often regarded as a panacea to most problems of computer integrated construction (CIC). But the paradigm shift they are about to achieve is not imminent. Software supporting CIC relays on the definition of the conceptual building product and building process models which are, at least in a standardized form, delivered quite slowly. Working solutions to CIC may als...

Product Centered Process Design

Collaborative design: a learner-centered library planning approach

Purpose – Information commons were introduced into libraries in the early 1990s. Now universities are building library learning commons and campus learning spaces. This paper sets out to present a participatory library (re)design approach for collaborative planning “for and with” faculty teachers, student learners, and campus stakeholders. Design/methodology/approach – Collaborative design (co-...

Requirements-Based Design Guidance: A Process-Centered Consistency Management Approach

In previous work, we have argued that constraints on the relationships between requirements elements and design elements can be used to guide designers in making design decisions. We have also argued the importance of controlling which constraints to apply, when to apply them, and what responses to take on constraint failure in order to make this guidance effective. Our suggestion, to control t...

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
