Innovative Form Design - A Formal Aesthetics Design Approach for Creative Form Generation

Poster (konferens), 2012

An intrinsic challenge in user-centered design approach is that it educes design solutions that are, to some extent, already known by the user, since familiarity factors are favoured. In our research, we turn the established UCD process around and propose an approach for exploring and creating novel product form based on formal aesthetics, unconstrained by convention, function, use and context.
