SUMMARY:Swiss Design Network Symposium
DESCRIPTION:This symposium questions the status of design within the academic system and examines how knowledge is produced by design disciplines. The conference aims to provide examples of virtuous practices and to create an arena for a discussion on the relevance of design research as a framework in the medium and long terms. Which experiences and practices are exemplary? Which possibilities does research through design unfold? What can we learn from them\, and how can we further implement design research into research projects and activities? \nWe invited practice- and theory-based contributions anchored in design disciplines (Industrial and Product Design\, Interior Design\, Fashion Design\, Interaction and Service Design\, Graphic and Type Design\, Photography) as well as cross- or transdisciplinary approach (Social Design\, Technology and Design) that present examples of research through design\, discuss methodological and epistemological issues\, and offer novel ways of approaching practice-based research.
