ARTIFACT JOURNAL SPECIAL ISSUE: DESIGN AND AESTHETICS
Aesthetics plays a key role in design practice, and aesthetic
sensibility is often described as one of the core competences of the
design professional. Paradoxically, however, the concept has received
relatively little attention in design methodology and design literature,
and in the design debate, its role has often been treated as
questionable.
The purpose of this special issue of the research journal Artifact is to
shed light on the current status of the concept of aesthetics in the
design field and to discuss its historical and current role in both
research and practice. Artifact invites designers, design researchers
and philosophers to explore aspects of the relationship between design
and aesthetics.
Possible themes include but are not limited to
• Aesthetics in or as design method
• The role of aesthetics in design literature and design research,
including for example its conceptualization in design history and
design method studies
• Design and aesthetic experience
• Aesthetics and sensory perception
• Aesthetics and pleasure
• Aesthetics and emotions
• The aesthetics of art versus the aesthetics of design
• Everyday aesthetics
• Aesthetics as taste
