Design has long expressed and established itself as an independent research competence - a fact that also companies, institutions and politicians have come to acknowledge. What is still needed, however, is a stronger public platform for design to confidently reflect upon this process and to establish and communicate the specific innovative and experimental dimension of design research. For this reason, BIRD, the Board of International Research in Design, has developed the New Experimental Research in Design / NERD format. The edited conference contributions of twelve young researchers from all over the world provide an impressive and diverse and insightful range of intelligent and inspiring approaches in design research, giving rise to further debate and action in the rapidly evolving field. Design hat sich lange als unabhängige Forschungskompetenz artikuliert und etabliert - eine Tatsache, die Unternehmen, Institutionen und Politiker inzwischen durchaus anerkennen. Was es noch braucht, ist eine starke öffentliche Plattform, um diesen Prozess selbstbewusst zu reflektieren und so die spezifisch innovative und experimentelle Dimension von Design-Forschung zu etablieren und kommunizieren. BIRD, das Board of International Research in Design, hat deshalb das NERD-Format entwickelt: Die hier veröffentlichten Konferenz-Beiträge von zwölf jungen Forschern aus allen Teilen der Welt geben Einblick in ein beeindruckendes und vielfältiges Spektrum von intelligenten und inspirierenden Ansätzen. Sie rufen auf zu einer Fortsetzung der Debatte in einem sich rasch entwickelnden Forschungsfeld.

Perfekt unperfekt? Auf Hochglanz polierte Gestaltung erscheint uns manchmal distanziert, umgekehrt kann eine rasch hingeworfene Linie oder eine verwackelte Fotografie authentisch wirken. Im Design ist der Ausarbeitungsgrad ein wichtiger Stil- und Wirkungsfaktor. Durch einen rhetorischen Blick verschiebt sich die Frage nach »guter« Gestaltung hin zur Frage nach wirkungsvollem Design: Welcher Elaborationsgrad ist angemessen - relativ zum verfolgten Zweck und Kontext? Annina Schneller entwickelt eine praxisorientierte Rhetorik des Designs, die erstmals Strategien der Elaboration beleuchtet: in der klassischen Rhetorik, in der Grafi kdesigngeschichte und in zwei Anwendungsfeldern der visuellen Kommunikation. Perfektion und Abweichung vom Ideal stehen dabei in einem steten Spannungsverhältnis. The book offers insight into the classical rhetorical strategies of elaboration for researchers interested in rhetoric as well as for designers and artists. The process of elaboration is governed by the tension between the perfect and imperfect, polish and rawness, and by the realization of an ideal or departure from it. The book illustrates this process with regard to the history of graphic design and based on two case studies.

Designing Cultures of Care brings together an international selection of design researchers who, through a variety of design approaches, are exploring the ways in which design intersects with cultures of care. Unique in its focus and disciplinary diversity, this edited collection develops an expanded discourse on the role and contribution of design to our broader social, cultural and material challenges. Based around a unifying critique of the proposition of care as a theoretical framework for undertaking design research in real worldcontexts, each chapter presents a case study of design research in action. This book aims to provide readers - both academics and practitioners - with insights into the possibilities and challenges of designing cultures of care. The disciplines represented in this collection include architecture, visual communication, participatory and social design, service design, critical and speculative design interventions and design ethnography. These case studies will provide real world insights that have relevance and value to design students at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, and to researchers at all levels within and outside of the academy.

"Design Roots provides a comprehensive review of culturally significant designs, products and practices which are rooted to particular communities through making tradition and a sense of place. This book considers the creative roots, the place-based ecologies, and deep understandings of cultural significance, not only in terms of history and tradition but also in terms of locale, social interactions, innovation, and change for the sustainment of culturally significant material productions. Contributing authors explore the historical roots of culturally significant designs, products and practices, emerging directions, amateur endeavours, enterprise models, business opportunities and the changing role and contribution of design in the creation of material cultures of significance, meaning and value. An international perspective is provided through case studies and research from North and South America, Africa, Europe, Asia and Australasia, with examples including Aran jumper production in Northern Ireland, weaving in Thailand, Iranian housing design, Brazilian street design and digital crafting in the United Kingdom."--

Das Nachbauen mittelalterlicher Instrumente dank Bildquellen und musiktheoretischer Traktate oder das »Einpflanzen« von Alltagsgegenständen in Landschaften, um so das Begriffspaar Natur-Kultur neu zu verhandeln - diese Beispiele zeigen, wie Kunst als Mittel zur Erkenntnisgewinnung die Wissenschaft bereichert. Die Beiträger*innen experimentieren mit der Verbindung von Kunst und Wissenschaft und richten besonderes Augenmerk auf die noch junge Disziplin der Designforschung sowie deren gesellschaftliches Engagement. Dabei illustrieren sie nicht nur die Bandbreite der Forschung in und mit den Künsten, sondern stellen auch Verbindungen zur Grundlagen-, anwendungsorientierten und aktivistischen Forschung her.
