Industrial Design

Fotografia e design são disciplinas que lidam diretamente com a visualidade. Em síntese, podemos considerar que ambas as áreas promovem discursos múltiplos acerca dos elementos compositivos da imagem, seja no caso do design considerando a promoção da codificação de signos/símbolos, ou no caso da fotografia, que liga com o registro desses significantes. Desse modo, o artigo aqui proposto visa considerar a integração da fotografia auxiliando nos percursos de projeto dentro do design, onde podem ser discutidas ferramentas metodológicas para a pesquisa visual. São comentados os aspectos de integração e características que permeiam os campos. Disso, observamos a participação ativa das tecnologias contemporâneas em volta do digital, a fotografia com recursos mobile, e instantânea, pode se incorporar efetivamente nos novos paradigmas em volta do design atual.

Молодь і ринок №8 (163), 2018 П остановка проблеми. Художникдизайнер працює для величезного кола споживачів, репрезентує та практично втілює власні мистецькі проекти у різні сфери життя: побут, відпочинок, промисловість тощо. Звідси виникає потреба формування у "споживача" естетичних цінностей дизайнерської роботи, адже митець творить для глядача. Отже, постає актуальна потреба підготовки художниківпедагогів, котрі володіють основами дизайну. Змістом їх подальшої професійної сфери діяльності, пріоритетним напрямом виступає навчання та виховання молоді, котра буде цінувати і використовувати дизайнерський арсенал у різних сферах сучасного життя.

This article addresses the Cartesian Subject–Object divide in Western philosophy, which has historically fragmented the relationships between designers, users, and artefacts. By critiquing this dualism—where the Subject is viewed as an isolated mind and the Object as passive matter—we ask how design can be reconceptualized to reconceive this distinction rather than reproduce it. Using John Heskett’s definition as a structural taxonomy, we develop four core propositions framing design as a poietic-mimetic endeavour. These explore the designer’s fundamental dependence on representation (P1), the mutual lack between user and Object (P2), poietic becoming through embodied simulation (P3), and the ontological union of form and function (P4). By positioning design as an ‘included middle’, the article argues that agents and artefacts co-constitute one another. This relational ontology offers a transformative paradigm for design research, practice, and education.

The paper presents research findings on the development of strategies for biomimetic design, that synthesize contemporary digital technologies of analysis, design, and prototyping. The proposed methodology has been validated through three case studies of biological shells which were analyzed with digital imaging technologies (SEM) to identify biomimetic design principles. Algorithmic design tools were implemented as part of a "design by analogy" process to extract and emulate the biological design solutions, to be constructed with the use of additive manufacturing (AM). A set of design iterations was produced with incremental changes in functional design parameters to examine the technical properties of the structure through Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and mechanical testing of the physical specimens and identify trends in its mechanical performance. Within the methodology developed in this research, bidirectional loops of feedback between the different stages of biomimetic design were created. The topological characteristics and function of the biomimetic models informed the AM technology and process, as well as the FEA and testing methods. At the same time, the fabrication requirements, and constraints along with the mechanical characterization results counterinformed the biologically inspired designs. The paper presents the outcomes of this iterative optimization process, supporting the role of biomimicry for the development of efficient and sustainable design solutions that can be applied to contemporary design, responding to architectural and engineering challenges.

The rapid expansion of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) applications has increased the demand for safer, quieter, and more cost-effective drone platforms. This report presents the MAR11 Drone, an experimental disposable UAV prototype developed in 2016. The primary objectives of the MAR11 Drone were to provide enhanced propeller protection, reduce operational noise, and minimize replacement costs through a simple and robust structural design. The prototype incorporated a protective external frame surrounding the propulsion system while maintaining a lightweight architecture suitable for low-cost manufacturing. Flight tests demonstrated the feasibility of the concept and highlighted the potential benefits of integrating safety and acoustic considerations into UAV design. The MAR11 Drone represents an early attempt to develop a practical disposable UAV platform for research, surveillance, inspection, and educational applications.

Curatorial Note by Kristine Michael
Vimoo Sanghvi- A Pioneer Studio Potter

Vimoo Sanghvi was among a small group of ceramic artists in Mumbai who were the harbinger of a collective new thrust of a material-based art that transformed itself with a variety of influences beyond national boundaries, where the e􀆯ects of industrialization and technology
impacted the nature of the processes. She threw o􀆯 the image of the anthropological ‘oriental artisan’ and took the mantle of an urban contemporary artist bred in the art schools and galleries, inspired by modernism and using technology as an important tool towards extending
techniques and surface qualities. There was a sense of extraordinary energy, excitement and vitality of these trailblazers who made a lasting impact in their significant choice of becoming ceramic artists and their exploration of personal idioms as well as painstaking research and
development of new methods of using local raw materials.
This retrospective exhibition obliquely enters the development of the progressive, modernist post-independence, art movement of Mumbai by tapping into a di􀆯erent experience of womanhood and engaging with di􀆯erent personal histories of a woman who looked to ceramics
as a modern form of artistic expression. Vimoo Sanghvi blurred the perceived line between fine art and craft and pushed the technical boundaries of a traditional medium to create something
entirely new. Her works in ceramics and experiments with local materials shows great perseverance to overcome the narrow perceptions of ceramic art of the time. She has had a direct impact on the development of early studio pottery and ceramic art in Mumbai- be it with
her contemporaries like Aloo Siddva, Primula Pandit, Malti Dwivecha, Barbara Quittenbaum, Nirmala Patwardhan among others as well as artisans like B R Pandit and Ismael Kumbhar who
were sometimes her assistants.

Industrial design is an applied art where the aesthetics and the usability of products may be improved. During the 20th century, we have seen an interesting transformation in our society from hand-made consumer goods designed and made by skilled craftsmen to mass production using new materials and technologies. Design aspects specified by the industrial designer may include the object's overall shape, the location of the details with respect to one another, colours, textures and ergonomics. Often, through the application of industrial design, a product's appeal to the consumer is greatly improved. Industrial design consists of the ideation of a shape or configuration, or composition of a pattern or colour. An industrial design can be a twoor three-dimensional pattern used to produce an object. For many years designers were inspired by Euclidean geometry and Euclidean shapes (e.g. triangles, squares, Platonic solids and polyhedra), and it is not surprising that industrial design objects have Euclidean characteristics. The evolution of materials (e.g. steel, plastic, glass) and technologies (from hand-made products to Computerized Numeric Control) have permitted designers to overcome the limits imposed by Euclidean geometry. Thus, modern design studies apply complex shapes and fractal geometry to create new kinds of objects that have futuristic shapes. The aim of this paper is to present some examples of industrial design objects that are analysed using the complexity and the fractal geometry.

This article examines the personnel challenges faced by the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) sector in Haryana State, India, and provides probable revival remedies. The study includes three components of personnel challenges, such as the attentiveness of employees, training, and recruitment. The study is based on primary data that has been collected from 384 entrepreneurs using a structured questionnaire from six districts in each division, i.e., Yamuna Nagar (39), Faridabad (93), Gurugram (103), Hisar (49), Sonipat (40), and Panipat (60), following the using the Krejcie and Morgan (1970) table. The data have been analysed using SPSS-29 with statistical tools, i.e., frequency, mean, t-test, one-way ANOVA, and percentage. The study found that entrepreneurs in the state faced personnel-related issues, i.e., low cooperation among employees, family problems, strikes, high labour costs, a lack of skilled workers, a lengthy recruitment process, lack of continuous training to employees, and ineffective training, based on various independent variables. Further, the study recommended that welfare services, distinct refresher courses, workshops, and seminars on skill development, as well as competitive salaries, are required to overcome these challenges and reduce staff turnover.

La Città Universitaria di Roma è un esempio paradigmatico della storia della cultura progettuale italiana tra i primi anni Trenta e gli anni della guerra. Nel contesto delle contradditorie vicende politiche ed economiche del periodo, la matrice unitaria di questo singolare caso studio incorpora molteplici significati e piani di lettura. Dall’impianto urbanistico, all’architettura, alle arti, al design, il complesso di Sapienza rispecchia l’approccio globale perseguito da Marcello Piacentini, che ne coordinò la realizzazione. In tal senso, l’interesse documentale della Città Universitaria include il patrimonio di arredi interni ed esterni che partecipa alla ricostruzione storica con la sua stratificazione mobile e fluttuante, non per questo meno incisiva. Anche perché, le cose più ordinarie oltre ad essere spie delle vicende produttive, sono fonti di narrazioni dell’esistenza quotidiana, legate ai gesti, ai comportamenti sociali e alla comunicazione. I diversi sistemi di oggetti – dagli infissi in legno e ferrofinestra, ai banchi, agli apparecchi illuminanti a tutti gli elementi di finitura – furono realizzati solo da ditte italiane, tra intricati episodi di approvvigionamento dei materiali, capitolati speciali d’appalto, elenchi prezzi, atti di sottomissione, disegni e brevetti. Il libro è il risultato di una ricerca avviata nel 2016 presso il Fondo C.E.R.U.R. conservato nell’Archivio Storico di Sapienza e s’incentra sul design attraverso la sistematizzazione in categorie e la ricostruzione di microstorie qui dedicate ai mobili con struttura in metallo, con un ricco apparato di documenti pertinenti.

Design automation for analog/mixed-signal (A/MS) circuits and systems is still lagging behind compared to what has been reached in the digital area. As System-on-Chip (SoC) designs include analog components in most cases, these analog parts become even more a bottleneck in the overall design process. The paper is dedicated to latest R&D activities within the MEDEA+ project ANASTASIA+. Main focus will be the development of seamless top-down design methods for integrated analog and mixed-signal systems and to achieve a high level of automation and reuse in the A/MS design process. These efforts are motivated by the urgent need to close the current gap in the industrial design flow between system specification and design on the one hand and block-level circuit design on the other hand. The paper will focus on three subtopics starting with the topdown design flow with applications from circuit sizing, design centering, and automated behavioral modeling. The next part focuses on modeling and simulation of specific functionalities in sigma-delta design while the last section is dedicated to a mixed-signal System-on-Chip design environment.

Saving cost and time was a motivation to develop a mechanized harvesting system for chickpeas, which are manually uprooted on fallow fields in developing countries. A tractor-pulled harvester with a modified stripper header was designed and fabricated, in which passive fingers with V-shaped slots removes chickpea pods from anchored plant; batted reel sweeps the pods across the platform. Field experiments were conducted to determine the effect of slot width and reel speed on machine performance in terms of harvesting losses. Minimal losses were found when the design was configured with a slot width of 4 cm, reel speed of 50 rpm and reel kinematic index of 1.6. The prototype harvester with a 1 m working width produced the work rate of 0.18 ha h-1 and exhibited acceptable working quality. The main conclusion is that the modified stripper harvester can work in unevenness ground where other machines cannot operate.

Aim of study: This paper presents a mathematical modeling approach to redesign the reels of chickpea harvesters for harvest efficiency.Area of study: A prototype chickpea harvester was designed and evaluated on the Dooshan farm of the University of Kurdistan, Sanandaj, Iran.Material and methods: The strategy used for reducing harvesting losses derived from the dynamic study of the reel applied to the chickpea harvester. The machine was designed such that bats of a power take-off (PTO)-powered reel, in conjunction with passive fingers, harvest pods from anchored plants and throw the pods into a hopper. The trochoid trajectory of the reel bats concerning reel kinematic index, and plant height and spacing was determined for redesigning the reel.Main results: This kinematic design allowed an estimation of the reel orientation at the time of impact. The experimentally validated model offers an accurate and low computational cost method to redesign harvester reels.Research highlights: The...

RESUMEN:
Los paisajes patrimoniales constituyen el marco de esta publicación, en un contexto en el que su reconocimiento social ha crecido notablemente en los últimos años. Este interés ha impulsado a administraciones, especialistas y comunidades locales a reforzar los esfuerzos destinados tanto a su conservación como a su adecuada difusión. Resulta fundamental que cualquier persona, con independencia de su edad, capacidades o formación, pueda conocer y disfrutar de los resultados de las investigaciones desarrolladas en estos lugares, así como de las interpretaciones que los especialistas elaboran sobre sus restos materiales y valores paisajísticos. En este sentido, la accesibilidad a la cultura debe orientarse a garantizar una experiencia autónoma, rigurosa y respetuosa con el bien cultural, aun reconociendo los desafíos que plantea la articulación entre accesibilidad y patrimonio. Este libro se publica como resultado del Proyecto de Investigación Accesibilidad y Diseño Inclusivo en Paisajes Patrimoniales. Análisis, estrategias de actuación y modelos de diseño de información, con el objetivo de servir como herramienta para investigadores y profesionales interesados en una aproximación inclusiva, sensible al entorno y empática con las personas. La obra reúne aportaciones de los miembros del proyecto y de otros especialistas que han colaborado en algún momento con el LAB/PAP a través de seminarios y workshops, ofreciendo reflexiones teóricas y casos de estudio desde una mirada crítica. La publicación aborda la accesibilidad desde distintas perspectivas adaptadas a la especificidad de los paisajes patrimoniales. Por un lado, se analizan intervenciones arquitectónicas entendidas como mediaciones entre el respeto al lugar y las necesidades de los usuarios, promoviendo soluciones claras y coherentes con el contexto. Por otro, se exploran estrategias de diseño de información, ya sea desde un enfoque genérico o a través de experiencias específicas de diseño de elementos de señalética, recursos gráficos y digitales, o dispositivos multisensoriales, orientados siempre a facilitar la comprensión del sitio por parte de una amplia diversidad de públicos. En conjunto, ambas aproximaciones, la arquitectónica y la comunicativa, permiten abordar la accesibilidad en paisajes patrimoniales desde una perspectiva integral, en la que la experiencia del usuario, la conservación del bien y la transmisión de sus valores culturales se entienden como dimensiones inseparables de un mismo proceso de intervención.

Biomimicry is a nature-inspired method derived from forms, processes, and systems in nature that connect visual arts and architecture, giving them common grounds for interaction. The chapter summarizes biomimicry from Janine Benyus's "Biomimicry: Innovation Inspired by Nature" (1997) to design approaches. It emphasizes universal principles in architecture and visual pattern, structure, and rhythm from the perspective of nature facilitated by biomimicry to produce functional and efficient sustainable solutions. The functional and aesthetic aspects of biomimicry in architecture are examined. Functional biomimicry, as in the case of the Eastgate Centre in Zimbabwe, takes cues from termite mounds to develop an energy-efficient building. Bio-adaptive facades and green roofs, as in the case of the BIQ House in Hamburg, showcase biomimicry's role in the achievement of sustainability and efficiency of the designs. Visual aesthetics of biomimicry involve organic form and texture, creating visual appreciation, as in the case of the Lotus Temple. Explanations of how nature influences the visual arts, from the perspective of inspiring Art Nouveau to environmental art that utilizes natural form and pattern, are given. A variety of works by artists like Olafur Eliasson and Andy Goldsworthy are all instances of successful applications of biomimicry in art. Biomimicry case studies in architecture include nature-inspired architecture by Zaha Hadid, geodesic domes with climate control for the Eden Project, and bioluminescent art that creates natural light through biomimicry, showcasing artistic and sustainable intent. The chapter demonstrates that a sustainable future integrating visual arts and architecture is achievable through biomimicry as the connector.

O ingresso neste Mestrado foi um investimento numa área em que acredito ser uma aposta no futuro e para a qual faz sentido trabalhar. Este relatório de estágio foi o culminar de uma etapa que está a terminar mas que não seria possível sem o apoio de todos aqueles que me acompanharam e incentivaram. Gostaria assim de agradecer à minha orientadora, a Professora Doutora Cristina Chaves pelo seu apoio, orientação e esclarecimento de todas as dúvidas que foram surgindo. À Eng.ª Alexandra Mouta, minha orientadora do estágio, pela oportunidade para a realização deste trabalho, pela sua disponibilidade e partilha de conhecimento. Agradeço a toda a equipa da Amorim Cork Composites que me apoiou no desenvolvimento deste trabalho, ao Eng. João Carvalho, ao Eng. Álvaro Baptista, ao Sr. Joaquim Leal e toda a equipa de I&D, ambiente e de planeamento de produção. Também gostaria de agradecer a todos os professores do Mestrado pela sua dedicação e também aos meus colegas do Mestrado pelo apoio, em particular à Lúcia Buson pela sua amizade. Aos meus amigos, em particular à Vanessa Ramos por toda a disponibilidade, boa disposição e apoio ao longo destes meses de trabalho. Por último à minha família, aos meus pais e irmã pelo apoio incondicional em qualquer lugar, em qualquer situação, em qualquer decisão. iii A economia circular surge como um modelo económico alternativo ao modelo linear, considerando os aspetos ambientais no desenvolvimento económico. Neste contexto, as empresas apresentam um papel fundamental na concretização desta transição. Uma das medidas é a implementação de Simbioses Industriais, onde duas ou mais empresas trocam resíduos ou subprodutos entre si para a criação de novos produtos. Este trabalho foi desenvolvido no âmbito do estágio curricular desenvolvido na empresa Amorim Cork Composites, que teve como objetivo a procura de novas fontes de resíduos ou subprodutos para o desenvolvimento de novas redes de simbiose industrial. Assim, através do contato com várias empresas foram identificadas várias fontes de resíduos/subprodutos, nomeadamente o de EVA de Alta Densidade. Este foi o principal resíduo identificado pelas quantidades disponíveis significativas e pela possibilidade de processamento com a tecnologia atual da empresa. Para o caso de estudo deste resíduo foram criadas parcerias com oito empresas em Portugal e, chegou-se à conclusão que a sua recolha é viável em Portugal e Espanha. Pensa-se que este trabalho contribuirá para a literatura existente, pois trata-se de um caso concreto de implementação de Simbiose Industrial, temática onde as experiências e o respetivo enquadramento teórico ainda escasseiam, estabelecendo, além do mais, a relação entre vários tópicos, desde, por exemplo, questões regulatórias/legislativas e eco inovações, até benefícios ambientais e económicos, barreiras e fatores determinantes, passando por questões específicas de proximidade geográfica. .

The medical device design process has a responsibility to define the characteristics of the object to ensure its correct interaction with users. This study presents a proposal to improve medical device design processes in order to increase user acceptance by considering two key factors: the user hierarchy and the relationship with the patient’s health status. The goal of this study is to address this research gap and to increase design factors with practical suggestions for the design of new medical devices. The results obtained here will help medical device designers make more informed decisions about the functions and features required in the final product during the development stage. In addition, we aim to help researchers with design process didactics that demonstrate the importance of the correct execution of the process and how the factors considered can have an impact on the final product. An experiment was conducted with 40 design engineering students who designed birthing ...

У статті досліджено сучасні світові та українські тенденції розвитку соціального плаката як засобу візуальної комунікації. Проаналізовано його функціональні, естетичні та змістові аспекти в контексті глобальних викликів і локальних соціокультурних процесів. Соціальний плакат розглянуто як інструмент формування  громадської  думки,  повідомлення  соціальних  меседжів  та  вираження  суспільних  ідеалів. Визначено, що трансформація його візуальної мови зумовлена впливом цифрових технологій, історичного досвіду, культурного середовища та соціальних потрясінь. Наголошено, що сучасний плакат виходить за межі комунікаційної функції, стаючи культурним явищем, здатним впливати на емоційно-психологічному рівні, активізувати соціальні дії та відображати дух епохи.Об’єктом дослідження є соціальний плакат як форма художньо-комунікативного висловлювання в умовах сучасного  інформаційного  суспільства.  Предметом  дослідження  виступають  художньо-композиційні прийоми,  семіотичні  коди,  колірна  та  типографічна  структура,  які  забезпечують  ефективність комунікації. Методологія роботи ґрунтується на комплексному застосуванні порівняльного, аналітичного, мистецтвознавчого та контент-аналізу. Порівняно візуальні рішення та змістові особливості світових і українських зразків соціального плаката, що дозволило окреслити провідні тенденції його еволюції.У результаті проведеного аналізу встановлено, що в глобальному контексті соціальний плакат зберігає провідну роль у політичних кампаніях, екологічному та правозахисному активізмі, а в Україні він набуває особливої  ідентифікаційної  функції  –  стає  символом  національної  єдності,  спротиву  та  культурного самоствердження. Визначено, що цифровізація, поєднання традиційних і нових медіа, а також воєнні події суттєво змінюють способи комунікації через плакат, надаючи йому нових візуальних форм і смислових акцентів.Зроблено висновок, що сучасний соціальний плакат є динамічним явищем, яке змінюється під впливом технологічних інновацій, політичних подій і соціальних рухів. Він поєднує естетику, символіку та соціальну функцію,  зберігаючи  здатність  оперативно  реагувати  на  трансформації  суспільства.  В  українських реаліях плакат виступає не лише мистецьким об’єктом, а й важливим інструментом громадянського висловлювання, формуючи колективну свідомість і візуальний наратив доби.Ключові  слова: соціальний плакат, візуальна комунікація, художньо-композиційні рішення, символіка, цифрові технології, громадська думка, графічний дизайн.

This project is to work on innovative form which is to explore the subject of ‘supersurfaces’ which emphasizes of paper folding as a method of form generation. Associated with diagrammatic technique and digital morphogenesis,prolifically meterializing in the projected and the built through continuity, curvature,smooth layering and manupulations of the ground which was conceptualized Deleuzian ontology of the ‘the fold’. This project required to investigate paperfolds as physical artifacts to design a lighting.Folding and paper was used as a starting technique and material which involve the three-dimensional reproduction of, geometric patterns on various scales. The used of theory in knowledge building in reflective practice embedded with the theory of semantics showed that design-driven approach can be achieved for radical innovating of product design and development.

The diversity of Spanish design has led us to question its identity, values, intentions and national characteristics. This paper study the importance of the design identity as a key element in creating a local culture of design, checking the mediterraneanness and the influence of lifestyle called "Mediterranean way", mentioned by several authors, trying to decipher the Mediterranean character of the Spanish design. Various fields have been studied looking the characteristics of the "Mediterranean way", and were extrapolated to the design, showing through a product analysis how this identity is reflected in the Spanish design. The claim of this work is to get an own discourse for Spanish design, recovering the transmission of the cultural and social values.

У монографії запропоновано й послідовно обґрунтовано концепцію форми  адміністративного права. Вона подана як методологія аналізу правової форми через три зрозумілі опори — інваріанти, носії та рівні, що дозволяє не просто перелічувати елементи галузі, а показувати, як вони пов’язані між собою, що саме забезпечує їхню стійкість і за яких умов вони змінюються у правозастосуванні.
У центрі уваги перебувають норми, інституції, процедури, правові статуси, адміністративні зобов’язання та адміністративні акти, а також їхні взаємозв’язки у реальних режимах публічного адміністрування. Послідовно висвітлюються переходи від принципів до норм, процедур, рішень та їх перегляду з орієнтацією на практичну перевірюваність аргументації.
Представлено відтворюваний протокол морфологічного аналізу з внутрішніми тестами правової визначеності, пропорційності, недискримінації та якості мотивування і з зовнішньою компаративною перевіркою на матеріалі правопорядків Німеччини, Франції, Сполучених Штатів Америки та Польщі.
Морфологічні профілі форми показано як інструмент систематизації доктрини, вдосконалення законодавчої техніки й оптимізації інституційних конфігурацій, а також як засіб підвищення якості адміністративних рішень через чіткі критерії проєктування, перевірки та корекції.
Авторське бачення узгоджується з принципами верховенства права і належного врядування у їхній нормативній формалізації та операційному окресленні в орієнтирах програми SIGMA «Організації економічного співробітництва та розвитку» (OECD), а також із доктриною правової визначеності й легітимних очікувань, тестом пропорційності та процесуальними гарантіями участі й перегляду, що стабільно відтворюються у практиці Європейського суду з прав людини та в праві Європейського Союзу.
У підсумку монографія пропонує цілісну модель, яка поєднує канонічну точність викладу з пояснювальною силою морфологічного аналізу і забезпечує практичну перевірюваність висновків у доктрині та правозастосуванні.

This monograph articulates and systematically substantiates a morphological concept of the form of admin￾istrative law. The notion of form is reconstructed beyond two conventional reductions: first, the “documentary”
understanding that equates form with outward paperwork, and, second, the source-oriented understanding that
collapses form into the typology of legal sources. Instead, form is presented as a reproducible legal architecton￾ics of public-power action that brings the exercise of competence into a legally constrained regime and secures
determinacy, controllability, and reviewability of the governmental result. The methodological core is formulated
through three coordinated analytical anchors, namely invariants, carriers, and levels, enabling the researcher to
trace how doctrinal and normative elements cohere, what stabilises them across applications, and how structural
transformation occurs under changing administrative contexts.
The monograph proposes an explicit protocol of morphological analysis aimed at the internal morphology of
norms, institutions, procedures, legal statuses, administrative obligations, and administrative acts, with particular
attention to transitions between principles, procedural settings, decisions, their reasoning, and mechanisms of
correction and review. Central to the contribution is the claim that morphological propositions should be testable.
The protocol therefore employs internal tests of legal certainty, proportionality, non-discrimination, and the qual￾ity of reasoning as structural criteria that separate legal defects of form from mere managerial or organisational
shortcomings.
External verification is conducted through a comparative lens that confronts the proposed morphological
model with the doctrinal and procedural architectures of Germany, France, the United States, and Poland. The
German trajectory is examined through the legally structured chain of competence–procedure–administrative act–
reasons–review, anchored in the administrative procedure statute and the duty to give reasons. [Verwaltungsver￾fahrensgesetz (VwVfG) vom 25.05.1976 (BGBl. I S. 1253), § 39.] The French trajectory is approached through
codified rationality of administrative action and the obligation to provide reasons for individual decisions within
the framework of the Code des relations entre le public et l’administration. [Code des relations entre le public et
l’administration (CRPA), art. L211-2.] The United States trajectory is tested through the Administrative Procedure
Act and the linkage between reasoned decision-making and the standards of judicial review. [Administrative Pro￾cedure Act, 5 U.S.C. § 706.] The Polish trajectory is verified through the Kodeks postępowania administracyjnego,
especially the requirements of justification and effective contestation. [Kodeks postępowania administracyjnego z
dnia 14 czerwca 1960 r. (Dz.U.), art. 107.]
In its forward-looking dimension, the monograph argues that digitalisation and partial automation shift legal
risks from surface formalities to the depth of decision architectures, thereby elevating transparency, explainability,
correction, and effective review into constitutive properties of lawful administrative action and doctrinally disci￾plined norm-design. [OECD/SIGMA. European Principles for Public Administration. SIGMA Papers No. 27. Paris:
OECD Publishing, 1999.] [Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (Rome,
04.11.1950), Articles 6, 13.]
In conclusion, the proposed morphological concept of the form of administrative law functions as an instru￾ment of doctrinal consolidation and verifiable analysis, equally suitable for the scholarly reconstruction of the
branch, for the norm-design of procedures and administrative acts, and for assessing the quality of administrative
decisions in the practice of public administration and in judicial review. Its heuristic value lies in enabling the
identification and typologisation of “defects of form” as structural failures in the architectonics of public-power
action, tracing their causal links to infringements of legal certainty, proportionality, and the duty to give reasons,
and thereby strengthening the governability and accountability of public-authority practices. Prospectively, this
opens the way to standardised protocols of transparency, explainability, and correction for digital administrative
decisions and administrative services, ensuring the compatibility of national solutions with European standards of
good administration and the protection of legitimate expectations.

In full 21st century and living in a digital age, technology advancements have led to the development and use of digital media for product design projects’ support. It starts with education and training, making students to contact and learn tools and methods of computer aided design (CAD). Believing that the level of digital technologies knowledge to design and representation is one of the basic requirements to get a position, and sometimes it makes the difference in choice requisites, this study presents the results of a critical diagnosis about the presence of ‘informatics contents’ applied to design in the academic curricula of industrial/product design in Portugal. As part of a PhD research focused on product design curricula’s adequacy to business challenges, this study aims to demonstrate how important is to keep up with the fast technological development, increasing the professional perspectives for design students.

This paper presents a literature review that investigates CMF (Colour, Material, Finish) design through academic research to understand its historical development and increasing importance in modern design theory. The current context demands aesthetic experiences that drive emotional engagement between consumers and products, thus making CMF design a strategic possibility. The multidisciplinary nature of this approach, which incorporates elements from psychology, materials science, ergonomics, and marketing, enables the design of meaningful product interactions and influences user perception. CMF design exists throughout professional practice but lacks sufficient academic research due to its complex nature, which creates fragmentation. This research conducts a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) using the PRISMA framework to analyse 113 relevant sources. The results were displayed according to thematic categories, examining their history, definitional complexity, constituent elements, and design processes. Research demonstrates that CMF design is crucial for enhancing product identity, improving the user experience, and fostering sustainable engagement through a balanced combination of visual, functional, and emotional dimensions. The research adds to academic knowledge about CMF design, demonstrating its ability to drive sustainable innovation. The aesthetic design of experiences through CMF fosters emotional bonds between users and products, leading to increased product durability and sustainable consumption patterns. Overall, CMF design lends itself well to integration with reflections on sustainability and as a possible driver in specific strategies for sustainable design.

CritViz is an online framework for supporting realtime critique, conversation, and peer ranking of creative work in the classroom. In creative classes where student work cannot be entirely graded on objective criteria, classes often arrange critique sessions to provide direction and feedback to students, raise their level of performance, and teach them to give and receive constructive criticism. Critiques usually work best in classes small enough to sustain a single discussion. CritViz was created to scale up critiques for large classes whose size normally prohibits this activity. Through CritViz's countdown timers, assignment uploading, and randomized peer feedback, we can now run effective critiques in much larger classes and have seen changes in overall classroom "motivational structure." Typically with classrooms "Smaller is Better" but our work implies possibilities for increasing class sizes with little negative impact, and even leading to "Bigger is Better" in the classroom.

Assessing industrial design is an intricate process of product analysis which aims to establish the quality degree of a product and considers all its implications from technical restrictions to appearance. Industrial design is related to mass produced articles obtained through industrial processes and whether products are articles of adornment or machines, both technical and aesthetic dimensions are relevant and influence the design process. All types of industrial products can be assessed using a numerical method based on the same criteria, however the same principles have a different impact on various types of products. The author proposes a customized approach in order to achieve an objective assessment for different concepts of design.
