What is customization? by Matti Sievanen.
Soft customization within the shoe industry by Dominik Walcher, Salzburg University of Applied Sciences
RESEARCH QUESTIONS:
• What are the factors that make an object desirable to the consumer?
• What are the different layers of meaning or value that make an object more integral to the user? What causes attachment?
• What kind of objects are less likely to lose their relevance and land up in the waste heap?
• How does one create products which transcend market trends and connect with the user at an emotional level?
• What are the different kinds of customization and how may they be implemented?
• What are the ways of incorporating various surface explorations into modular designs?
• What is experience design and how may it be incorporated in designing accessories?
These are some of the basic research questions I am starting out with.
I will keep updating this page with web links pertinent to my projects.
