Rosan,
I have no idea what sort of research you do and what it has to do with
what sort of design. Maybe there's no professional reason you would
have heard Wallpaper or Metropolis (or Eye or Emigre or. . .) but
there's a fair amount of consternation expressed on this list that
working designers don't go way out of their way to sort through a large
amount of uninteresting and widely-dispersed material to find the small
percentage of useful-to-them research. I wonder how many design
researchers have no connection with designers, the design fields, or
the culture(s) of design.
