DESIGN PRINCIPLES AND METHODOLOGIES - ALESSANDR...

This book introduces readers to the core principles and methodologies of product development 
and highlights the interactions between engineering design and industrial design. It shows to
what extent the two cultures can be reconciled  and conversely what makes each of them unique.
Although the semantic aspect is fundamental in industrial design  while the functional aspect
is essential for the industrial product  the interaction between the two worlds is
strategically vital. Design is also a strategic problem-solving process that drives innovation
builds business success and leads to better quality of life through innovative products 
systems  services and experiences. The book connects product development with the concepts and
strategies of innovation  recognizing that product design is a complex process in which
invention  consumers' role  industrial technologies  economics and the social sciences
converge. After presenting several examples of artifacts developed up to the conceptual phase
or built as prototypes  the book provides a case study on a packaging machine  showcasing the
principles that should underlie all design activities  and the methods that must be employed to
successfully establish a design process. The book is primarily targeted at professionals in the
industry  design engineers and industrial designers  as well as researchers and students in
design schools  though it will also benefit any reader interested in product design.
