Design Issues explores the multifaceted nature of design, examining its role in knowledge production, social and political change, and interdisciplinary transformation. The journal investigates the "design turn," a concept that re-evaluates design's influence across various fields, including policy, resilience, and democratic theory. It also delves into the relationship between design and the past, considering how historical contexts and material culture inform contemporary and future design practices.
