  • Integrated Project Design

    From Academia to the AEC Industry

    Edited by Bárbara Rangel, Ana Sofia Guimarães, Jorge Moreira da Costa, João Pedro Poças Martins ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    Integrated Project Design/Delivery is not new, but in recent years, it has been achieving the status of yet another acronym, more connected to its contractual details than to the actual meaning of the profound change in how work is to be developed. This book clarifies this situation by presenting several examples in academia, research and practical design situations, ranging from the use of old ... Read more

  • On the Origin of Products

    The Evolution of Product Innovation and Design

    by Arthur O. Eger, Huub Ehlhardt ...
    In this new work, Arthur O. Eger and Huub Ehlhardt present a 'Theory of Product Evolution'. They challenge the popular notion that we owe the availability of products solely to genius inventors. Instead, they present arguments that show that a process of variation, selection, and accumulation of 'know-how' (to make) and 'know-what' (function to realize) provide an explanation for the emergence of ...
