Design Studies
Design Studies website
This is the International Journal for Design Research in Engineering, Architecture, Products and Systems, published jointly by Elsevier Science and the Design Research Society. Design Studies is the only journal to approach the understanding of design from comparisons across all domains of application, including engineering and product design, architectural design and planning, computer artefacts and systems design. It therefore provides a unique forum for the development and discussion of fundamental aspects of design activity and experience, from cognition and methodology to values and philosophy. The journal reports new research and scholarships in principles, procedures and techniques relevant to the practice, management and pedagogy of design.
