Methodological investigations into design inspiration and fixation experiments
Designers often look for inspiration in their environment when exploring possible solutions to a given problem. However, many studies have reported that external stimuli may constrain designers’ imagination and limit their exploration to similar solutions, a phenomenon described as design fixation. …

Hydrological disasters : designing to shelter in place
… question it attempts to answer is: how can we design and implement housing structures along U.S. coastlines that fully withstand hydrological disasters? Priority and severity is shown by increasing trends in natural disaster occurrence frequency and damage and reconstruction costs. Cost …

A contemporary teashop design based on Chinese traditions
… for teashops. The purpose of this study was to design a contemporary teashop deriving design inspiration from traditional Chinese culture and teahouse design. An existing site in a university town was selected for the study. Historical factors were identified through review literature and visual …

Assessing the suitability of user centric design methods when applied in a developing world context
… field of HCI, it is recognised that user-centred design (UCD) methodologies need to be applied if ICT4Dev activities are to yield locally appropriate technologies. However, there is no overarching methodology or framework for the application of UCD within 4Dev design initiatives. This thesis sets …

Application of data-driven neural networks to bio-inspired lattice design and prediction of multiphysics solution fields
Modern structural design and metals processing require fast, reliable predictions across large design and operating spaces, yet brute-force finite element workflows remain too slow for timely screening, inverse design, or process decisions. This study develops conventional deep neural networks and …
