Preface
The Second World War demonstrated that scientific research could be readily translated into technology. This opened up a much larger ambit of research than what had existed previously because of the change in its perceived value. The launch of the Sputnik satellite in 1957 by the Soviet Union prompted a reexamination of research in the West resulting in the establishment of the National Science Foundation and the Defense Advanced Research Agency in the US, which provided, and continue to provide, significant research funding to universities. Multiple disciplines that had not seen research as part of their activities began to view research, and in particular scientific research, as potentially beneficial. Design was one of these disciplines although the transfer of research to industry is not as well developed in design as in many other disciplines. Design, when viewed from inside a discipline, often appears to be very narrowly concentrated within that discipline with little in common with design in other disciplines. This limited focus has made research into design less attractive as a field in its own right rather than being connected to any particular discipline. Further, the claim that the
