We hope you will enjoy the coming three days of debate, presentations, and plenaries that will bring together academics, professionals, researchers, and practitioners to explore the present and the future of design around the world. With this, the Twelfth Conference on Design Principles and Practices, we wanted to prompt some reflection on the traditional boundaries collapsing between people, things, ideas, and places in the face of new forces of technological, political, social, and cultural evolution. Often it seems that we are losing our awareness of what could be our future and our role and responsibility to participate in its building. What will be our identities, needs, or expectations? Design stands in-between such new material and immaterial relations. Designers can play a unique role in answering these questions by facilitating debate, reflection, and transformative actions. This conference aims to explore how designers assume a social and a political role by defining our material world. Today, this seems to be a key responsibility: combining new knowledge and critical thinking, as well as consciousness and creativity, to transform large-scale issues based on the real needs of the community—which is where human life happens. The emerging missions and visions of design education, research, and practice—along with the economic, political, and social impacts—will be discussed. In general terms, we are asking for our keynotes, scholars, academics, and professionals to open the conversation about the ways in which design is overpassing any established boundaries between cultures, disciplines, social rules, and political places. “No Boundaries Design” is the new challenge: Where and how do we implicitly construct boundaries, explicitly deconstruct them when they act as barriers, or build them in resilient ways when they are necessary? How can design play a role in giving people the voice to choose their own way of thinking and acting, allowing them to be agents of change within and beyond boundaries? The conference is hosted by ELISAVA Barcelona School of Design and Engineering and DESIS Lab ELISAVA in Barcelona, which should be considered one of the most interesting and creative institutions of design in Spain. This should also be considered to examine the character of design in Spain: its roots, professional context, and emerging design research. Spanish culture lies in the heart of Europe and at the crossroad of a variety of historical influences, making it a cradle for creativity and a living place. At a time when we see new and old borders rising, the conference in Spain at ELISAVA is tacking the issue of design crossing the boundaries, to understand the chances we have to enable bottom-up social innovation crossing borders and cultures. We hope you will enjoy the Spanish and international leading thinkers on design that we have selected as Plenary Speakers. Marti Guixè (Interior and Industrial Designer, Barcelona, Spain, and Berlin, Germany) will introduce a non-conventional way to understand the culture of products bridging food and performance. Oscar Tomico (Head of the Design Engineering Bachelor’s Degree Program at ELISAVA) will focus on the design process of creating ultra-personalized smart textile services in the form of soft wearables involving stakeholders of the textile industry.
