Publisher's Synopsis
The twenty-one papers in this Design Research for Change (DR4C) book examine and explore how contemporary forms of design research are increasingly involved in a range of major social, cultural, economic, and environmental challenges. The research included in this book highlights a variety of significant roles that design researchers play in some of the most complex and demanding issues we face, such as energy and the environment, education, public services, health and social care both in the UK and globally.
