LOG 26/11/2023
The DSD is being moved to a new - and better :) - format. The database will be a graph with all the advantages of a network interface, which offers fantastic possibilities in terms of design semantic research and is more user-friendly. The likely unveiling of the DSD v2 is scheduled by spring 2024. In the meantime, this DSD will remain up for consultation. Subscribe to the newsletter or follow us on LinkedIn to stay informed.
