Design Transforming Society

2016 design principles and practices International Conference Design Transforming Society The ability of design to promote transformations in society is an issue that deserves investigation. Transformations in the way people live, in human relationships, even in the landscape. These transformations can be very subtle and their effectiveness sometimes depends on the continuity of an action, which is perceived only on a long-term basis. In this context, the design of objects, artifacts, services and processes is looked at as a catalyst, an initiative capable of making a difference in society and ultimately in the life of human beings. The 2016 Design Principles & Practices Conference invites you to share your experiences, ideas and proposals on the role of design in the shaping of societies and cultures. How in the past years did this happen, and how can we plan for the future? How we can design artifacts, activities, systems, interactions and environments that affect the way societies take shape?

The Inaugural International Conference on Design Principles & Practices was held at Imperial College, London, UK in February 2007.

Next year, we are honored to hold the conference in partnership with the Institute Without Boundaries at George Brown College in Toronto, Canada. Conferences can be ephemeral spaces. We talk, learn, get inspired, but these conversations fade with time. This Knowledge Community supports a range of publishing modes in order to capture these conversations, and formalize them as knowledge artefacts. We encourage you to submit your research to the Design Principles & Practices Journal Collection. We also encourage you to summit a book proposal to the Design Principles & Practices Book Imprint. Dr. Phillip Kalantzis-Cope Director, Common Ground Publishing In partnership with our Editors and Community Partners the Design Principles & Practices Knowledge Community is curated by Common Ground Publishing. Founded in 1984, Common Ground Publishing is committed to building new kinds of knowledge communities, innovative in their media and forward thinking in their messages. Common Ground Publishing takes some of the pivotal challenges of our time and builds knowledge communities which cut horizontally across legacy knowledge structures. Sustainability, diversity, learning, the future of humanities, the nature of interdisciplinarity, the place of the arts in society, technology’s connections with knowledge, the changing role of the university—these are deeply important questions of our time which require interdisciplinary thinking, global conversations, and cross-institutional intellectual collaborations. Common Ground is a meeting place for people, ideas, and dialogue. However, the strength of ideas does not come from finding common denominators. Rather, the power and resilience of these ideas is that they are presented and tested in a shared space where differences can meet and safely connect—differences of perspective, experience, knowledge base, methodology, geographical or cultural origins, and institutional affiliation. These are the kinds of vigorous and sympathetic academic milieus in which the most productive deliberations about the future can be held. We strive to create places of intellectual interaction and imagination that our future deserves. 4 5 2016 design principles and practices About Common Ground Our Mission Common Ground Publishing aims to enable all people to participate in creating collaborative knowledge and to share that knowledge with the greater world. Through our academic conferences, peer-reviewed journals and books, and innovative software, we build transformative knowledge communities and provide platforms for meaningful interactions across diverse media. Our Message Heritage knowledge systems are characterized by vertical separations—of discipline, professional association, institution, and country.

Our Media Common Ground creates and supports knowledge communities through a number of mechanisms and media. Annual conferences are held around the world to connect the global (the international delegates) with the local (academi- cs, practitioners, and community leaders from the host community). Conference sessions include as many ways of speaking as possible to encourage each and every participant to engage, interact, and contribute. The journals and book series offer fully- refereed academic outlets for formalized knowledge, developed
