Axiomatic Design Research Foundation
International Conference on Axiomatic Design
Axiomatic Design is a powerful product design methodology. It was developed by Professor Nam P. Suh at the MIT’s Department of Mechanical Engineering, by the end of the 1970s. Axiomatic Design can be applied to the design of products, processes, projects, systems and it is a systems engineering (engineering design) methodology that uses matrix methods to systematically analyse the translation of customer needs into functional requirements, design parameters, and process variables. It has been called one of the most important engineering developments of the last hundred years. The two axioms of Axiomatic Design are: maximize the independence of the functional requirements and minimize the information, or complexity. These are clear, simple rules that guide the design process to the best possible solution for the desired functions.
The Axiomatic Design Research Foundation is established to to spread the ideas behind Axiomatic Design.
Teaching Young and Promising Product Designers
By providing education on AD for novice product designers by giving new product designers guidelines for improving their designs.
Sharing Means for AD Knowledge Transfer for Teaching Staff
Sharing means for teaching AD on all levels.
Sharing good practices between designers
Sharing good practices between more experienced product designers to enable analysis of more complex problems.
Enabling and Expanding Scientific Research
Involving scientists to execute research on AD and bringing it to a next level.
We are pleased to invite you to consider submitting a contribution to the 18th International Conference on Axiomatic Design (ICAD 2027), which will take place at NOI Techpark, Bruneck/Brunico, (Italy), on June 15-17, 2027. The conference is organized by the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano (unibz). The main theme of this edition is:
“Designing at the Speed of Change – How Axiomatic Design can increase Engineering Speed”.
ICAD brings together researchers and practitioners to explore how creativity, systems thinking, digital engineering, artificial intelligence, and Axiomatic Design can jointly enable faster, more resilient, and higher-quality product or system development. Given your previous work in related areas, we believe you may be interested in contributing to this edition of the conference.
