Abstract
The model process building and the model of design practice itself contribute to the real-life product design practices research, inferring new theoretical constructs to understand how the technology, processes and context including its relationships with products and customers are transforming design practice. Through the analysis of those elements. This paper proposes a conceptual model to support further studies on the evolution of Industrial Design/Product Design practices research.
