The Sixteenth International Conference on Design Principles and Practices - A BLENDED CONFERENCE

The Sixteenth International Conference on Design Principles and Practices - a conference organized by the Design Principles and Practices Research Network and the University of Newcastle, Newcastle, Australia. -------- CALL FOR PAPERS Founded in 2007, the Design Principles and Practices Research Network offers an interdisciplinary forum to explore the meaning and purpose of design. In professional and disciplinary terms, the network traverses a broad sweep to construct a trans-disciplinary dialogue, which encompasses a wide array of design paradigms and practices. We move between theoretical reflection on the nature of design and case studies of design practice, and from research-based perspectives to the experience-based perspectives of design insiders. Our aim is to build an epistemic community where we can make linkages across disciplinary, geographic, and cultural boundaries. As a Research Network, we are defined by our scope and concerns and motivated to build strategies for action framed by our shared themes and tensions. The Sixteenth International Conference on Design Principles and Practices features research addressing the following annual themes and special focus. Special Focus - Back to Life: Seeking Vision and Purpose in Principles and Practice Theme One – Design Education Theme Two – Design in Society Theme Three – Designed Objects Theme Four – Visual Design Theme Five – Design Management and Professional Practice Theme Six – Architectonic, Spatial, and Environmental Design https://designprinciplesandpractices.com/2022-conference/call-for-papers -------- A BLENDED CONFERENCE The Design Principles and Practices Research Network offers an interdisciplinary forum to explore the meaning and purpose of design. In professional and disciplinary terms, the network traverses a broad sweep to construct a trans-disciplinary dialogue, which encompasses a wide array of design paradigms and practices. We move between theoretical reflection on the nature of design and case studies of design practice, and from research-based perspectives to the experience-based perspectives of design insiders. Our aim is to build an epistemic community where we can make linkages across disciplinary, geographic, and cultural boundaries. As a Research Network, we are defined by our scope and concerns and motivated to build strategies for action framed by our shared themes and tensions. We are taking on these challenges by offering a blended conference experience, with session types explicitly designed to make the most of both online and in-person social knowledge processes. In conversation with our Research Network Members, we have been reflecting upon the kinds of scholarly conferences we need for our sustainable social futures. You do not need to commit either to a place-based or virtual presentation at the time of submission. You can present both ways or change your mode of the presentation if your preferences change. The choice to participate virtually could also be a moral decision – for the planet, for security, or when the financial burden of travel is too great. We aim to foster spaces that align with principles of social justice and community development. This way we build for our Research Network Members flexible, and at the same time resilient, spaces for communication, engagement, and participation. https://designprinciplesandpractices.com/2022-conference Place: Online + University of Newcastle, Newcastle, Australia Format: A mix of live, pre-recorded, and in-person (at a scale that's allowed) presentations and social interaction spaces. Dates: 19-21 January 2022 -------- LOCAL RELATED CONFERENCES We understand travel is difficult in the current climate. For this reason, we also offer related thematic events in our sister Research Networks that you might be able to attend in-person. This way we build for our Research Network Members flexible, and at the same time resilient, spaces for communication, engagement, and participation.
