      • Adaptation of sources of inspiration in knitwear design. 

        Eckert, Claudia; Stacey, Martin (Article)
        In an experimental study of designing by adaptation, professional and student knitwear designers were videotaped designing sweaters based on a Persian rug or a nineteenth century tapestry. The designers used a range of ...
      • Against ambiguity 

        Stacey, Martin; Eckert, Claudia (Article)
        This paper argues that the widespread belief that ambiguity is beneficial in design communication stems from conceptual confusion. Communicating imprecise, uncertain and provisional ideas is a vital part of design teamwork, ...
      • Ambiguity is a double-edged sword: Similarity references in communication. 

        Eckert, Claudia; Stacey, Martin; Earl, Christopher (Conference)
        Designers often explain new concepts and new ideas by reference to existing designs. This is parsimonious, as it only requires a pointer to the referent and a description of the modifications. Such descriptions can be ...
      • Change as little as possible: Creativity in design by modification. 

        Eckert, Claudia; Stacey, Martin; Wyatt, D.; Garthwaite, P. (Article)
      • Comparative study of design with application to engineering design. 

        Earl, Christopher; Eckert, Claudia; Bucciarelli, Louis; Whitney, Daniel; Knight, Terry; Stacey, Martin; Blackwell, Alan; Macmillan, Sebastian; Clarkson, P. John (Conference)
        A recent exploratory study examines design processes across domains and compares them. This is achieved through a series of interdisciplinary, participative workshops. A systematic framework is used to collect data from ...
      • Constraints and Conditions: Drivers for Design Processes 

        Eckert, Claudia; Stacey, Martin (Book chapter)
      • Design as playing games of make-believe 

        Poznic, Michael; Stacey, Martin; Hillerbrand, Rafaela; Eckert, Claudia (Article)
        Designing complex products involves working with uncertainties as the product, the requirements and the environment in which it is used co-evolve, and designers and external stakeholders make decisions that affect the ...
      • Designing the constraints: Creation exercises for framing the design context 

        Eckert, Claudia; Stacey, Martin (Book chapter)
        Developing an understanding of a design problem by exploring the context in which the new product will be marketed and used is often a crucial part of the design process but has been little studied outside the fashion and ...
      • Formality in design communication 

        Eckert, Claudia; Stacey, Martin; Earl, Christopher (Article)
      • From Ronchamp by sledge: On the pragmatics of object references. 

        Stacey, Martin; Eckert, Claudia; Earl, Christopher (Book chapter)
        References to previous designs and other objects play an important role in the synthesis of new design ideas, but object references are used for a wide variety of other purposes in design thinking. This study reports on ...
      • Knitwear customisation as repeated redesign. 

        Eckert, Claudia; Stacey, Martin (Conference)
        Producing large numbers of garment variants will only be economically viable if it requires very little human effort. But garment customisation cannot always be fully automated. Applying grading rules maintain the same ...
      • The lure of the measurable in design research. 

        Eckert, Claudia; Stacey, Martin; Clarkson, P. John (Conference)
        Beginning design research projects by defining success criteria, judged by numerical measurements, is a very attractive idea. But defining a priori success criteria is problematic, as is using numerical metrics to assess ...
      • A Methodology for comparing design processes. 

        Stacey, Martin; Earl, Christopher; Eckert, Claudia; O'Donovan, Brendan (Conference)
        We gain insights into design processes by recognising similarities to other processes, often in radically different industries. The crucial determinants of what happens are characteristics shared with some other design ...
      • Overconstrained and underconstrained creativity: changing the rhetoric to negotiate the boundaries of design 

        Eckert, Claudia; Stacey, Martin (Conference)
        What people think creativity is and what constitutes designing influences how designing is organized and carried out, and how design colleagues interact. In contrast to engineering, the fashion industry sees design as the ...
      • Process Models: Plans, Predictions, Proclamations or Prophecies? 

        Stacey, Martin; Eckert, Claudia; Hillerbrand, Rafaela (Article)
        Design process models have a complex and changing relationship to the processes they model, and mean different things to different people in different situations. Participants in design processes need to understand each ...
      • References to past designs. 

        Eckert, Claudia; Stacey, Martin; Earl, Christopher (Conference)
        Designing by adaptation is almost invariably a dominant feature of designing, and references to past designs are ubiquitous in design discourse. Object references serve as indices into designers' stocks of design concepts, ...
      • Reshaping the box: creative designing as constraint satisfaction. 

        Stacey, Martin; Eckert, Claudia (Article)
        The nature of novel idea creation in design depends on the nature of the design challenge: how requirements and constraints not only determine what is acceptable but shape thinking. This paper explores how overconstrained ...
      • Risk across design domains. 

        Eckert, Claudia; Earl, Christopher; Stacey, Martin; Bucciarelli, Louis; Clarkson, P. John (Conference)
        Design processes involve risk: to life and limb if the product is unsafe, to the financial health of the company if the product is late, unsuccessful or simply the wrong product, as well as to the emotions and careers of ...
      • Sketching across design domains: Roles and formalities 

        Eckert, Claudia; Blackwell, Alan; Stacey, Martin; Earl, Christopher; Church, L. (Article)
      • Sources of inspiration in industrial practice: The case of knitwear design. 

        Eckert, Claudia; Stacey, Martin (Article)
