“Design Relationships” reviewed by Mechanical Engineering magazine
Adriano Galvão’s book, “Design Relationships: Integrating User Information into Product Development” was reviewed in the May issue of Mechanical Engineering (ME). The review is now online through the ME Bookshelf .
For those who aren’t familiar with the book, Adriano starts with the premise that it’s more important than ever to ensure that data collected about users and their interactions with a device need to be integrated in the architecture and engineering phases of a product’s development. His book examines how to design user-product relationships into the core of a product’s architecture, based on information from product functions and user studies. He presents a methodology, the Function-Task Interaction Method, which is based on the concept of “affordances” and identifies, represents and quantifies the relationships that one has with a given a product.
