TL;DR: This paper aims to show the key role of the intermediate representations (IR) in the design process and especially in the car design process with the experience of many professional teams in this field.
Abstract: This paper aims to show the key role of the intermediate representations (IR) in the design process and especially in the car design process. For a better understanding of the concept of design, which is by nature conceptual, we propose to study the concept of IR. To this end, we will present the three following parts: description of IR in the design process; nature of IR; and role of IR in the design process. We chose to illustrate this paper with our experience essentially in car design because the design process in this field is historically formatted and very formalised and complex. Besides, this activity is based on the intervention of many professional teams.

TL;DR: This project consists in generating a new methodology, which aims to take into account the perception of the consumer in the new products design process, based on KANSEI engineering.
Abstract: This project consists in generating a new methodology, which aims to take into account the perception of the consumer in the new products design process. This methodology will be based on KANSEI engineering. KE helps to solve current problems in design such as reducing the costs and the deadlines, increasing the variability of the answers in terms of products, and improving the response compared to the needs of the consumer and the user.

TL;DR: The main goal of this study was the integration of the trend factor in design, with an early emotional evaluation of “Trend cards” produced by the designers.
Abstract: This paper aims at studying new ways of users integration in “emotional Design” or “Kansei engineering systems”. The main goal of this study was the integration of the trend factor in design, with an early emotional evaluation of “Trend cards” produced by the designers.
