1. 1. The Structure of Chinese Timber Architecture Twelfth century design standards and construction principles

   Författare :Qinghua Guo; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; units of measurement; design standards; timber structure; Chinese architecture; building patterns; carpentry system; construction principles; proportion; modular design;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis examines the building standards and construction principles prescribed and used in the construction of state buildings of the Song Dynasty (960 - 1279), China, from the viewpoint of architectural design. It aims to answer three fundamental questions: (1) What measuring system was used in the carpentry design and construction? (2) What building scales and proportions were prescribed for and used in state buildings of the time? (3) What were the interrelations of the structural patterns and roof types, and what were their relationships to the building scales and proportions? The thesis begins by providing detailed explanations of the highly refined and unique Song period modular system which governed not only the sizes of each individual elements, but also the dimensions of structural grids and the proportion of entire building.

3. 2. Design for Participation and Inclusion will Follow : Disabled People and the Digital Society

   Författare :Stefan Johansson; Jan Gulliksen; Per-Olof Hedvall; Bodil Jönsson; Katarina Lindblad-Gidlund; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Design; Accessibility; Universal Design; Participation; Disability Digital Divide; Inclusion; Människa-datorinteraktion; Human-computer Interaction;

   Sammanfattning : Digitalization is rapidly taking over all aspects of society, but still there are parts of the population who have to struggle for access to, and to be able to use, the digital resources. Design processes and outcomes in the form of artefacts, that takes accessibility into account, is key to participation. LÄS MER

4. 3. Addressing the complexity of sustainability-driven structural design: Computational design, optimization, and decision making

7. 5. Managing design rationale in the development of product families and related design automation systems

   Författare :Morteza Poorkiany; Fredrik Elgh; Joel Johansson; Jerzy Pokojski; Jönköping University; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Design rationale; design automation system; computer-supported engineering design; product development;

   Sammanfattning : As the markets’ needs change rapidly, developing a variety of products that meet customers’ diverse needs is a competitive factor for many manufacturing companies. Development of highly customized products requires following an engineer-to-order business process to allow the products to be modified or adapted to new customers’ specifications, which brings more value to the customer and profit to the company.
