The main conclusion of the work is the practical 3D parametric design obtained for a laparoscopic surgical graspers handle that is scalable to fit each particular surgeon's hand size. In addition, it has been possible to determine that the anthropometric measure of the surgeon's hand defined as Palm Length Measured (PLM) allows the design of the 3D parametric model of the surgical handle to be conveniently scaled. The results show that both additive manufacturing and the application of ergonomics criterion provide an efficient method for the custom design and manufacture of this type of specialised tool, with potential application in other sectors.

  • Interior Architectural Design for Adaptive Reuse in Application of Environmental Sustainability Principles
    sustainability Concept Paper Interior Architectural Design for Adaptive Reuse in Application of Environmental Sustainability Principles Magdalena Celadyn Faculty of Interior Design, Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow, pl. Matejki 13, 31-157 Krakow, Poland; [email protected] Received: 3 June 2019; Accepted: 10 July 2019; Published: 12 July 2019 Abstract: The paper discusses an interior architectural design model to enable the accomplishment of sustainable design strategy of efficient resources/waste management. The proposed design concept, referred to as interior architectural design for adaptive reuse, is based on the reintroduction of reclaimed or salvaged building construction materials and products acquired from demolished or refurbished building structural portions, into the structure of interior components. The presented design approach puts circular design methods and techniques in interior design practice at the core of environmentally responsible architectural design. To achieve its objectives, the implementation of resources efficiency strategy into the interior design scheme should remain a decisive interior design quality criterion. Meanwhile, the issues related to the environmental contextualization of interior spaces and their constitutive components, in fulfilment of sustainable design requirements for the conservation of natural resources, are neither sufficiently recognized by interior designers, nor appropriately highlighted in the current design practice. The main purpose of this concept paper is to develop a theoretical scheme for systemic inclusion of interior architectural design for adaptive reuse into the environmentally sustainable interior architectural design framework. This study provides interior designers with the concept of interior components design for the fulfilment of resources efficiency and waste management effectiveness. Keywords: sustainable architectural design; sustainable interior design; interior components; adaptive reuse; environmental contextualization 1.

The elements of design consist of point, line, shape, texture, light, color, form and space. The principles of design include unity and variety, balance, emphasis and rhythm. Students are expected to apply the understanding of design concepts to create 2-D visual compositions and encouraged to adopt a creative approach to become self-critical in their work. INAR 1111 Spatial Representations I Main aim of this course is to make an introduction to the free hand drawing, technical drawing and model making methods in the light of basic drawing and presentation techniques and making students to identify and know the architectural geometries through using methods. Another aim of this course is to improve the capabilities of converting and transferring existing geometries into paper with two-dimensional and three-dimensional drawings. Also, it is aimed to make students to comprehend the basic properties and the techniques of geometries for making new geometric designs. Within the scope of this course, two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes and forms are presented in paper-based media by referring to technical drawing conventions. While transferring into paper, orthographic, axonometric and perspective drawing conventions are taught. In addition to transferring two-dimensional and three-dimensional geometries into paper plane, geometric relations are also covered and analyzed through model making. As another method, briefing about basic presentation methods is made.

  • 8 Typographic Design
    8 Typographic Design Lesson overview In this lesson, you’ll learn how to do the following: • Use guides to position text in a composition. • Make a clipping mask from type. • Merge type with other layers. • Use layer styles with text. • Preview typefaces interactively to choose them for a composition. • Control type and positioning using advanced type palette features. • Warp a layer around a 3D object. This lesson will take about an hour to complete. If needed, download the Lesson08.zip file and extract it. As you work on this lesson, you’ll preserve the start files. About type Type in Photoshop consists of mathematically defined shapes that describe the letters, numbers, and symbols of a typeface. Many typefaces are available in more than one format, the most common formats being Type 1 or PostScript fonts, TrueType, and OpenType (see page 266). When you add type to an image in Photoshop, the characters are composed of pixels and have the same resolution as the image file— zooming in on characters shows jagged edges. However, Photoshop preserves the vector-based type outlines and uses them when you scale or resize type, save a PDF or EPS file, or print the image to a PostScript printer. As a result, you can produce type with crisp, resolution- independent edges, apply effects and styles to type, and transform its shape and size. 248 LESSON 8 Typographic Design Getting started In this lesson, you’ll work on the layout for the label of a bottle of olive oil. You will start from an illustration of a bottle, created in Adobe Illustrator, and then add and stylize type in Photoshop, including wrapping the text to conform to the 3D shape.

  • Metrics for Measuring Sustainable Product Design Concepts
    energies Article Metrics for Measuring Sustainable Product Design Concepts Ji Han 1,*, Pingfei Jiang 2 and Peter R. N. Childs 3 1 School of Engineering, University of Liverpool, Liverpool L69 3BX, UK 2 Department of Mechanical Engineering, Kingston University, London SW15 3DW, UK; [email protected] 3 Dyson School of Design Engineering, Imperial College London, London SW7 2DB, UK; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Although products can contribute to ecosystems positively, they can cause negative envi- ronmental impacts throughout their life cycles, from obtaining raw material, production, and use, to end of life. It is reported that most negative environmental impacts are decided at early design phases, which suggests that the determination of product sustainability should be considered as early as possible, such as during the conceptual design stage, when it is still possible to modify the design concept. However, most of the existing concept evaluation methods or tools are focused on assessing the feasibility or creativity of the concepts generated, lacking the measurements of sustainability of concepts. The paper explores key factors related to sustainable design with regard to environmental impacts, and describes a set of objective measures of sustainable product design concept evaluation, namely, material, production, use, and end of life. The rationales of the four metrics are discussed, with corresponding measurements. A case study is conducted to demonstrate the use and effectiveness of the metrics for evaluating product design concepts. The paper is the first study to explore the measurement of product design sustainability focusing on the conceptual design stage.

  • Eco-Designing the Use Phase of Products in Sustainable Manufacturing: the Importance of Maintenance and Communication-To-User Strategies
    Eco-designing the use phase of products in sustainable manufacturing: the importance of maintenance and communication-to-user strategies Esther Sanyé-Mengual, Paula Pérez-López, Sara González-García, Raul Garcia Lozano, Gumersindo Feijoo, Maria Teresa Moreira, Xavier Gabarrell, Joan Rieradevall Address Correspondence to: Esther Sanyé Mengual, [email protected] Sostenipra (ICTA-IRTA-Inèdit) – Institute of Environmental Science and Technology (ICTA), Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), Campus de la UAB s/n, 08193, Bellaterra (Barcelona), Spain Abstract Recently, principles in sustainable manufacturing have included the Design for the Environment (DfE) methodology with the objective of improving the environmental performance of products over their entire lifecycles. Current EU Directives on eco- design focus on the use phase of Energy-related-Products (ErPs). However, the maintenance of various household non-ERPs is performed with ErPs; therefore, the environmental impacts of product maintenance have an important role in the lifecycle of non-ErPs. This article presents two eco-design studies where the implementation of improvement strategies for the use and maintenance phase of products had relevant results. Moreover, environmental communication-to-user strategies were important to ensure the commitment of users towards eco-efficient behaviors. First, a knife was eco- 1 designed according to strategies focused on materials, processing, maintenance and communication-to-user. By applying eco-design in a cradle-to-consumer scope, improvements in environmental impact of the eco-designed product accounts for 30%. However, when accounting for eco-design of the product’s entire lifecycle, environmental impacts could be reduced by up to 40% and even up to ≈93% (depending on the cleaning procedure), due to large improvements in maintenance strategies.

  • How a Designer Can Support Sustainability in a Creative
    INTERNATIONAL DESIGN CONFERENCE - DESIGN 2010 Dubrovnik - Croatia, May 17 - 20, 2010. HOW A DESIGNER CAN SUPPORT SUSTANABILITY IN A CREATIVE WAY K. I. Kazamia and M. O. Kafaridou Keywords: sustainability, design process, paper-mass, product design 1. Introduction This paper explores the term “Interior Design” and in particular the relationship of the interior design profession with its direct and indirect impacts on the environment. Through a brief analysis, we explore this close relationship, establishing opportunities designers have to promote environmental sustainability. This work goes on to elucidate the role of the interior designer in the delivery of sustainability, providing examples from literature. Further, the process of design, within a context of sustainability is examined, from the design purpose, source of inspiration and subject through to the selection of materials, method of construction, communication of object’s messages and finally, the realization of the idea and usage. Finally, the paper expands the relationship of the interior design profession to the wider scope of social and economic sustainability and suggests a strategy which leads to the involvement of community to promote the uptake of sustainability. In summary, this paper presents an example of an innovative approach to design practice, working towards the promotion of holistic sustainable practice. 1.1 The definition of Interior Design/Architecture John F. Pile (1978 p.27) defined the term ‘design’ as a term which ‘describes all of the decisions that determine how a particular space will be.’ He explained further that ‘design’ can also be described as a determination of form, with form understood to mean every aspect of every quality including size, shape, material, structure, texture and colour that makes one particular physical reality different from any other’.
