Description:

Designing is the activity through which complex, multi-faceted problematics can be addressed through creating and shaping new functions, forms, relations, and experiences. The range of practices, methods, materials, and interests that constitute designing make the study of design processes a rich and powerful way of representing what designers and other actors are often unable to articulate. Designing is an international, peer-reviewed journal for scholarship looking at processes of design. We welcome rigorous research across a plurality of methods, approaches and perspectives offering new insight or knowledge about any aspect of design processes or contributing to innovative ways of designing. Processes of design link long-standing disciplines of architecture, engineering, industrial design, and software design with new and emerging disciplines like policy design, bio-design, human-computer interaction, healthcare design, and service design. In addition to research articles, Designing publishes peer-reviewed critical commentary, including research notes, as well as short papers and reviews relating to the research community. Designing also welcomes proposals for themed special sections. Designing is the journal of the Design Research Society.
