Abstract

This paper examines the current landscape of design research in the United Kingdom (UK) with a particular focus on UK research councils’ funded projects that aim to make a positive change to society. In recent years, design research in the UK has grown massively in terms of the number of students studying for a postgraduate degree (Masters and PhD), the number of institutions undertaking research, and both the quantity and quality of design-led inter- and multi-disciplinary collaborative research projects. The ongoing work presented here has involved significant data analysis and visualization of over 18,000 funded research projects in the UK. The paper highlights the recent ‘social turn’ and the increasingly collaborative nature of design for change research projects in the UK. The paper also describes some key characteristics found in and across present day design for change research projects
面向变革的设计研究:英国视角
本文考察了英国(UK)设计研究的现状,特别关注英国研究委员会资助的旨在对社会做出积极改变的项目。近年来,英国的设计研究在攻读研究生学位(硕士和博士)的学生数量、从事研究的机构数量以及以设计为主导的跨学科和多学科合作研究项目的数量和质量方面都有了大幅增长。这里展示的正在进行的工作涉及英国18,000多个资助研究项目的重要数据分析和可视化。这篇论文强调了英国最近的“社会转向”和设计变革研究项目日益增长的合作性质。本文还描述了在当今变革研究项目设计中发现的一些关键特征
