Why is it important?

the paper highlights that it can be difficult to consider modularity aspects in early design phases, whitout affecting design space exploration. However, it could be useful to limit design iterations.

Perspectives

This paper led me to many interesting research insights not only about modularity and product architecture, but especially about design methods, creativity and innovation. I hope that it could be useful also for peers.
