>Building a research culture in industrial design
>The Ph.D. programme in Industrial Design at Politecnico di Milano is
>organizing an international symposium on the nature, models and cultures of
>research as taking shape within the boundaries of the disciplines of
>industrial design, ranging from product design to visual design up to
>communication design, even extending to the new areas of design of
>interfaces and services. The variety of orientations and experiences that
>are emerging at present from the international debate about the topic are a
>challenge for a symposium aspiring to offer to such an emergence not a
>series of status reports but a common ground - not necessarily a unit of
>ideas, rather a shared focus - for a culture of industrial design research.
>
>The conference organizers are now calling for proposals for papers related
>to the issues listed below. Papers may reflect these topics from a
>theoretical, critical approach as well as focusing on illustrative cases.
>
>- nature and purpose of industrial design research
>- industrial design research compared with other fields of research
>- methods and resources involved
>- design research generating new knowledge and skills
>- relationship of industrial design research to design practice
>- academic or professional profiles for an industrial design researcher
>- the critical reflection on the dimensions of historical, theoretical and
>empirical/experimental
> research in industrial design
>- industrial design research as the condition for disciplinary knowledge
>- industrial design research between specialisms and generalisms
>- search: the uncodified practices of industrial design research
>- research: models of structured research
>- on design research as a context of interdisciplinary convergence
>- on design research as a collaborative practice
>- on design research as a learning-by-interacting
>
>Review committee
>Abstracts will be selected by the Review Committee comprising:
>Prof. Tomas Maldonado
>Prof. Ezio Manzini
>Prof. Victor Margolin
>
>Submission of abstracts:
