| Design |
Three thematic components of this design conference – disaster, discourse and disorder – indicate three interrelated but relatively autonomous fields that highlight various aspects related to contemporary issues in design. Design discourse involves the current language of design, i.e., the terms with which we conceptualize and talk about design. Design management, design research and current issues in design are some of the specific topics that can be addressed within this framework. This area of the conference includes presentations that seek to go beyond the over-asked question of “what is design?” and advocate a re-appraisal of accepted design conventions |
