Within the Chair of Design Research and Design Theory, the focus is on the experimental generation of knowledge in and through design. A dynamic interplay between analytical-systematic exploration and pragmatic-applied design practice characterizes the core of these efforts. Particular emphasis is placed on future-oriented, practice-based research, while at the same time offering insights into past and current theoretical discourses.The following essential questions are at the center of this academic investigation:
These and other questions are examined in interdisciplinary courses and driven forward by research. Dealing with these topics promotes a deep understanding of the role of design in today's society and its potential to make significant contributions to social, ecological and ethical challenges.
