COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF RESEARCH FOR DESIGN AND ENGINEERING DESIGN FROM VIEWPOINT OF MULTISPACE DESIGN MODEL

The Case of Bulletin of JSSD and Transactions of the JSME

抄録

This study aims to derive future research issues to be addressed for prompting collaboration between design (industrial design) and engineering design by conducting a comparative analysis between research for both domains within multispace design model: a model which allows comprehensive description of various design objects. The results suggest that the research for design has principally focused on the meaning space, attribute space and circumstance indicating it has been deriving design knowledge for early design process, while the research for engineering design has mainly dealt with the state space, attribute space, and circumstance indicating it has been accumulating knowledge of physical quantities. This paper concludes with suggestions against the research for design and engineering design to advance investigation of the state space and the relation between the psychological space (the value and meaning spaces) and physical space (the state and attribute spaces), respectively. Furthermore, the importance of conducting further research on the value space in the both domains is signified.
