Preface

This book grew out of a single question: what is the impact of design research on practice? The question was sparked off by the persistent belief that design research has little impact on practice. The question led to a collaboration between the two editors in the summer of 2013, when Amaresh Chakrabarti took his sabbatical at Technical University of Munich to visit Udo Lindemann. An international workshop was organised by the editors at the Institute of Product Development, Technical University of Munich, Germany in 2013 called “International Workshop on Impact of Design Research on Practice” (IDRP 2013). Most of the authors of the book participated in the workshop and deliberated on two major questions: • What guidelines can be formulated for successful transition of outcomes of design research into practice? • What kinds of platform are needed for supporting ongoing interactions between academia and practice for carrying out academically worthwhile yet practically relevant design research? These questions were further discussed in breakout sessions, and summarised by Rapporteurs;
