DESIGNABILITIES Design Research Journal

DESIGNABILITIES is a design research journal established since 2008. Through a variety of formats, we develop and initiate debate through traditional and non-traditional forms of (non-/scientific) publication including visual and audio data.

DESIGNABILITIES is concerned with the epistemic potentials of design research, as well as with the question of which ways and practices of knowledge production we can develop and apply in and beyond the design disciplines. This also involves a critical examination concerning the role of design(ers) in relation to societal conditions and hegemonies, and the search for ways to make these visible and transformable.

DESIGNABILITIES is international in nature but is mindful of cultural differences and encourages diverse local practices. Use of language besides English or German and form of discourse besides academic are welcome.
