Architecton: Proceedings of Higher Education №1 (61) March, 2018

The article considers design of customized goods on the basis of product architecture principles. Product architecture is a rapidly evolving strategy of product design responding to the current needs of the market. However, it is given little attention by researchers in Russia. The article reviews research sources devoted to the construction of product architecture in product design terms and identifies elements and principles of scaling required for creating customized products. Note is made of the possibility of applying the principles of product architecture to the creation of product’s stylistic elements.

ORDERED SERACH STRATEGY IN CUSTOMIZED PRODUCT DESIGN

Architecton: Proceedings of Higher Education №4 (60) December, 2017

The article considers two different strategies of modern product design and attempts to combine them for the purpose of developing new techniques. On the one hand, this is an ordered search strategy described by Johns in his work «Design Methods», which is a logical scheme aimed at achieving maximum objectivity of the design process and outcome. On the other hand, this is a strategy of mass customization, a contemporary vision of the solution to the problem of individualized consumption. Despite a considerable time lapse between these strategies, they have a common ground. The strengths and weaknesses of the ordered search strategy are shown and its possible applications to mass customization. In conclusion, a new vision of the ordered search strategy is proposed with reference to customized product design.
