Twenty-First International Conference on Design Principles & Practices
- Tolerances
- 10-12 March 2027
- TU Dublin School of Art and Design, Dublin, Ireland, + Online
The Design Principles & 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 Twenty-First International Conference on Design Principles & Practices features research addressing the following annual themes.
The Twenty-First International Conference on Design Principles & Practices will feature plenary sessions by some of the world’s leading thinkers and innovators in the field.
The conference program groups together presentations along similar themes to facilitate knowledge sharing and community building.
