Knowledge Base Repository

In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters. Please note that these resources are accessible exclusively to Design Society members.

Abstract:
Technology has created a new culture, a new community - the online community. The ability to interact with a person 8.000 kilometres away has all but dissolved boundaries that once existed. This super-connectivity unifies the human race; but as cultures blend, some aspects are lost. As designers we need to recognize this trend and return to our roots - return to what makes us who we are.
