***APOLOGIES FOR CROSS-POSTINGS***
International Conference on Design Principles and Practices
4-7 January 2006 - Imperial College, London University, UK
This conference is a place for discussions which explore the meaning and purpose of ‘design’, as well as speaking in grounded ways about the task of design and the use of designed artefacts and processes. The conference is a cross-disciplinary forum which brings together researchers, teachers and practitioners to discuss the nature and future of design. The resulting conversations weave between the theoretical and the empirical, research and application, market pragmatics and social idealism. Full details of the conference, including an online call for papers form, are to be found at the conference website - http://www.Design-Conference.com
Confirmed Keynotes: Ken Friedman (Danmarks Designskole, Denmark), Bill Gaver (Goldsmiths College, UK), Hiroshi Ishii (MIT, USA), and Ezio Manzini (Politecnico di Milano, Italy).
The deadline for the next round call for papers (title and abstract) is 31 October 2006.
Participants are welcome to submit a presentation proposal either for a 30 minute paper, 60 minute workshop, a jointly presented 90 minute colloquium session or a virtual session. Parallel sessions are loosely grouped into streams reflecting different perspectives or disciplines. Each stream also has its own talking circle, a forum for focused discussion of issues. Presenters may choose to submit written papers to the International Journal of Design Principles and Practices, a fully refereed academic journal. Virtual participants also have the option to submit papers for consideration by the journal. All registered conference participants receive a complimentary online subscription to the journal when registration is finalised. This subscription is valid until one year after the conference end date.
