The Proposition of Delayed Consumer Customization to Impact on Product Life Cycles:
Through the use of Prefab and Modular methodologies and emotional attachment techniques.
Abstract
This dissertation begins to present the benefits of utilising modular methodologies as an underlying design architecture for products.
The proposed delayed consumer customization also begins to imply the benefits to product attachment techniques by signifying how, once combined with the aim of evoking pleasures from usability based concepts it would allow for the growth of person-product relationships.
The aimed impact is proposed to positively increase the longevity of a product’s life cycle. It provides insights into the areas that have already confidently used modular methods within their DNA. This dissertation demonstrates how if applied to the fundamentals of a design it would allow for greater person-product interactions through introducing product modification/development ‘events’ where by allowing for creative consumer involvement.
