Multidisciplinary process integration and design optimization of a classroom building

TL;DR: How PIDO can enable orders of magnitude improvement in the number of design cycles typically achieved in practice is demonstrated, and PIDO’s potential to improve AEC MDO processes and products is assessed.

A Graph-Based Fault Identification and Propagation Framework for Functional Design of Complex Systems

TL;DR: The FFIP framework is introduced as a novel approach for evaluating and assessing functional-failure risk of physical systems during conceptual design and provides the designers and system engineers with a means of designing out functional failures where possible and designing in the capability to detect and mitigate failures early in the design process.

A comparison of creativity and innovation metrics and sample validation through in-class design projects

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present several methods used to assess the creativity of similar student designs using metrics and judges to determine which product is considered to be the most creative in early design.

Strategic Management of Innovation and Design

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that instead of relying on traditional R&D and project management techniques, the strategic management of innovation must be based on innovative design activities and propose new management principles and techniques that deal with these activities, including innovation fields, lineages, C-K diagrams and design spaces.

Design: one, but in different forms

TL;DR: This overview paper defends an augmented cognitively oriented generic-design hypothesis, reviewing the data available in the cognitive design research literature and proposing a series of candidates underlying such forms of design, outlining a number of directions requiring further elaboration.
