Integrative Design: Essays and Projects on Design Research (Board of International Research in Design)

Design and societal integration Design reflects social developments in those issues which are also embraced by design researchers. A key concept for how designers position themselves in the future, according to the editor’s thesis, may well be "integrative design". This term denotes design’s potential for the integrative development of a society, a potential imperatively linked with economic and political positions. __Integrative Design__ collects basic essays on aspects of Integrative Design, including design after ownership, inclusion, design as an interface with society, the integration of design and technology, and the political agenda of design. The associated website documents current and recently completed research projects that expand on these aspects. * The contribution of design to societal integration * Inspiring essays and research projects "The new volume Design Research Now 2 presents current positions in design research as well as groundbreaking research projects, with an emphasis on today's many different approaches to design research. The editors based their selection particularly on the relevance of design research in the context of current debates on social aspects, knowledge, innovation, and technology. The publication brings together innovative approaches in the areas of speculative design, critical design, design interactions, participatory design, sustainable design, and open design. The significance of these directions for design and design research is presented via exemplary research projects and analyzed in programmatic essays. The introduction critically examines the substance of these research concepts for the transformation of design practice and design education and discusses the perspective of design as an integrative discipline."--Publisher summary

Design spiegelt die gesellschaftlichen Entwicklungen in jenen Themen wider, derer sich auch die Designforschenden annehmen. Ein Schlüsselbegriff für die Positionierungen von Designern, so die These des Herausgebers, kann künftig das Integrative Design sein. Gemeint ist damit das Potenzial des Designs zur integrativen Entwicklung einer Gesellschaft, das unabdingbar mit Positionen des Ökonomischen und des Politischen verbunden ist.

Das Buch Integrative Design versammelt grundlegende Essays zu Aspekten des Integrativen Designs: u.a. Design after Ownership; Inklusion; Design als Interface zur Gesellschaft; Integration von Design und Technik; Political Agenda of Design. Die dazugehörige Website dokumentiert aktuelle und jüngst abgeschlossene Forschungsprojekte, die diese Aspekte entfalten.
