Usecues in the Delft Design Course
نویسنده
چکیده
For designers, featural and functional characteristics of a product are the obvious means to express its functionalities. Usage as intended in a design may be conceived as being mediated by product semantics or affordances. These concepts primarily involve scientific generalisations. Usecues are introduced as a pragmatic design tool. There is a brief discussion of experience with the notion of usecues in the Delft design course.

متن کاملDelft University of Technology Teaching the Modelling of Integrated Energy Systems – Course Design and First Experience
In order to design interventions in energy systems, it is key to combine existing models and simulations. As the interplay of different steps along the energy value chain, various actors and regional scopes makes it difficult for one model or model owner to cover the entire complexity of the system, the usage of present resources instead of creating new ones is a consequential approach to tackl...
