Dear list members, * "Öffungszeiten - Papiere zur Designwissenschaft"* is a german magazine for designtheory and designresearch. The recent edition No.26/2012 is dedicated to "ARS MAGNA - Design als Problemlöser" (Design as problem solving). Unfortunately all contributions are in German, which is indeed a real problem for the design research community. Anyway - this issue reflects the state-of-the-art of this debate. Contribution are from June H. Park, Felicidad Romero-Tejedor, Holger van den Boom, Rosan Chow, Anna Calvera, Wolfgang Jonas, Katherina Bredies, and othere more (including myself).
