The IAAD organises the third International Summerschool on Axiomatic Design from the 16th to the 18th of July 2023.
During the summer school, we will review the fundamental principles of Axiomatic Design (AD), incorporating insights and perspectives from over 30 years of teaching and practice. This content is valuable for both beginners and experienced users.
Participants will learn the latest methods for applying AD, both qualitatively and quantitatively, to select the best design solutions and foster innovation. Developed by Nam Suh at MIT in the late 1970s, AD asserts that all good designs adhere to two axioms: maintaining the independence of functional elements and minimizing information content. AD can enhance value and reduce costs in both designs and the design process. Additionally, participants will learn to use Mirò software for designing complex systems and products.
This tutorial is intended students, PhD students, researchers and design practitioners, who might have never used Axiomatic Design as design theory, or who would like a fresh perspective.
