Research Through Design Group
Description
Research Through Design Group is a group of designers doing research. They use design process within research process, asking research questions and answering them using design.
Members use design to respond to societal issues and challenges, and to go into new territories, such as sustainability, healthcare and placemaking. They address new audiences for design, such as healthcare and the third sector. The Group has seven broad thematic areas, across which researchers move freely:
- Living Well: Designing for the body to support care, rehabilitation and positive life experience.
- Sustainability Design: Designing to enable productive response to the climate emergency.
- Designing Learning: Design as a driver of pedagogic innovation.
- Visual Narratives: Designing means of communicating through imagery.
- Fashioning Identity: Designing to explore identity, and the material expression and transformation of meaning.
- Curating Places: Designing as site-specific practice relating directly to its audiences.
- Inclusive Communities: Designing to promote inclusivity and social sustainability, and providing for those with specific needs.
