Axiomatic Design Mitpsme C
ISBN: 9780195134667 / Angielski / Twarda Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Design education, research, and practice have recently seen considerable evolution as university programs, researchers, journals, and conferences systematize design as a discipline and science. Nam P. Suh's book Axiomatic Design: Advances and Applications contributes to this systematic and scientific base and presents a fresh perspective on design, establishing a rational framework for the discipline. The book follows Suh's successful publication, The Principles of Design (OUP 1990), although the two books are substantially different in both content and approach. The first three chapters of...

Pleasure With Products : Beyond Usability
ISBN: 9780415237048 / Angielski / Twarda / 390 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The last five years of the 20th century saw a major paradigm shift in the role of human factors in product design. Previously this was seen as pertaining almost exclusively to product usability, but new recognition is being given to pleasure-based human factors. This emphasizes the holistic nature of the experience of person-product inter-action. Wilst traditional human factors approaches tended to characterize the user in terms of his or her physical or cognitive processing capabilities, new huuman factors approaches are concerned with wider lifestyle issues.The quality of a design is judged...

The fault, argues this fascinating, ingenious--even liberating--book, lies not in ourselves, but in product design that ignores the needs of users and the principles of cognitive psychology.The problems range from ambiguous and hidden controls to arbitrary relationships between controls and functions, coupled with a lack of feedback or other assistance and unreasonable demands on memorization. The book presents examples aplenty--among...
