Summary:

Design has long expressed and established itself as an independent research competence - a fact that also companies, institutions and politicians have come to acknowledge. What is still needed, however, is a stronger public platform for design to confidently reflect upon this process and to establish and communicate the specific innovative and experimental dimension of design research. For this reason, BIRD, the Board of International Research in Design, has developed the New Experimental Research in Design / NERD format. The edited conference contributions of twelve young researchers from all over the world provide an impressive and diverse and insightful range of intelligent and inspiring approaches in design research, giving rise to further debate and action in the rapidly evolving field.

Design hat sich lange als unabhängige Forschungskompetenz artikuliert und etabliert - eine Tatsache, die Unternehmen, Institutionen und Politiker inzwischen durchaus anerkennen. Was es noch braucht, ist eine starke öffentliche Plattform, um diesen Prozess selbstbewusst zu reflektieren und so die spezifisch innovative und experimentelle Dimension von Design-Forschung zu etablieren und kommunizieren. BIRD, das Board of International Research in Design, hat deshalb das NERD-Format entwickelt: Die hier veröffentlichten Konferenz-Beiträge von zwölf jungen Forschern aus allen Teilen der Welt geben Einblick in ein beeindruckendes und vielfältiges Spektrum von intelligenten und inspirierenden Ansätzen. Sie rufen auf zu einer Fortsetzung der Debatte in einem sich rasch entwickelnden Forschungsfeld.
