Sommario/riassunto

Design reflects social developments in those issues which are also embraced by design researchers. A key concept for how designers position themselves in the future, according to the editor's thesis, may well be integrative design. This term denotes design's potential for the integrative development of a society, a potential imperatively linked with economic and political positions. The book Integrative Design collects basic essays on aspects of integrative design, including design after ownership, inclusion, design as an interface with society, the integration of design and technology, and the political agenda of design. The associated website documents current and recently



completed research projects that expand on these aspects.

Design spiegelt die gesellschaftlichen Entwicklungen in jenen Themen wider, derer sich auch die Designforschenden annehmen. Ein Schlüsselbegriff für die Positionierungen von Designern, so die These des Herausgebers, kann künftig das Integrative Design sein. Gemeint ist damit das Potenzial des Designs zur integrativen Entwicklung einer Gesellschaft, das unabdingbar mit Positionen des Ökonomischen und des Politischen verbunden ist. Das Buch Integrative Design versammelt grundlegende Essays zu Aspekten des Integrativen Designs: u.a. Design after Ownership; Inklusion; Design als Interface zur Gesellschaft; Integration von Design und Technik; Political Agenda of Design. Die dazugehörige Website dokumentiert aktuelle und jüngst abgeschlossene Forschungsprojekte, die diese Aspekte entfalten.
