Design is inextricably interwoven with all aspects of life and has even produced its own astonishing genre of research. Design research opens up new perspectives of interdisciplinary empiricism, joining with economics, sociology, technology, and philosophy to produce analyses and syntheses that get to the heart of daily life. The twelve contributions from international authors that comprise this book vividly make this case. They cover the relationship between subject and object, animation, all forms of representation, design activism, and many other themes. This book is intended to inspire discussion. Its target reader is anyone seeking to expand their understanding of design, to fundamentally improve their praxis, and to more deeply appreciate life in all of its aspects.

Design mischt sich unvermeidlich in alle Aspekte des Lebens ein und hat dabei eine erstaunliche eigene Qualität von Forschung entwickelt: Design-Forschung schafft neue Perspektiven interdisziplinärer Empirie, verbindet sich in Analysen und Synthesen mit Ökonomie, Soziologie, Technologie, Ökologie und Philosophie und bewegt sich so inmitten des alltäglichen Lebens. Anschaulich macht das Buch dies mit 12 Beiträgen von internationalen Autorinnen und Autoren: zur Frage des Verhältnisses von Subjekt und Objekt, zu Animation, zu jeglicher Form von Darstellung, zu Design-Aktivismus und anderen Themen. Eine Grundlage für anregende Diskussionen, ein Buch für alle, die neue Einsichten suchen, jegliche Praxis grundlegend verbessern und das Leben in all seinen Aspekten verstehen wollen.
