• Sommario/riassunto: The mission of the publication Delft Science in Designis to promote and advance the exchange of lessons learned on designbetween university and industry.

Between the extremes ofartistic design and pure science, the transitions are like in fluid:they are smooth and gradual. An approach focusing on how the universitydeals with knowledge may provide a better entry to the debate. Themutual u
