Design for invention : annotation of functional geometry interaction for representing novel working principles
Atherton, Mark; Jiang, Pingfei; Harrison, David; Malizia, Alessio (2018-04-01)In some mechanical engineering devices the novelty or inventive step of a patented design relies heavily upon how geometric features contribute to device functions. Communicating the functional interactions between geometric ... -
Design for Invention: A framework for identifying emerging design-prior art conflict
Malizia, Alessio (2018-10-03)The increasing complexity of patented mechanical designs means that their novelty and inventive steps increasingly rely on interacting geometric features and how they contribute to device functions. These features and ... -
Design Implications of Model-Generated Urban Data
Jankovic, Ljubomir (2019-11-11)The staggering complexity of urban environment and long timescales in the causal mechanisms prevent designers to fully understand the implications of their design interventions. In order to investigate these causal mechanisms ... -
