Design, arts and “aesthetics of innovation”

Abstract

Dear readers,This issue closes our tenth volume. This is an important result for the community that works with Strategic Design and the many disciplinary approaches related to the strategical contribution of Design for the improvement of organizational and social processes. We would like to thank you for your continuing support.In the first paper of the issue, Cláudia We invite you to read the contributions of your interest. Moreover, as part of the SDRJ's community, we would like to invite you to send us your contributions and suggestions for a continue development of the journal. Carlo FranzatoEditor

Collaborative Learning of Ph.D. Candidates in Design on Emerging Scenarios in Scientific Publication

“…To answer to the challenges of this new publication scenario is beyond the scope of this article, and we provide some responses elsewhere Lupo, 2023;Formia, Lupo & Mehmeti, 2023). Here we presented as possible response to the specific need of training the design community in the topic, the organization and development of structured co-creation sessions within the Ph.D. program on Design of Politecnico di Milano, whose content has been based on the first outcomes in terms of case studies and scenarios of the Prode research project.…”

“…In specific an innovative Living publication lifecycle has been introduced (supporting an iterative model for publications) and the relative Living publications scenario (including Augmented publications; Collective authoring; Evolving publications; Publications reuse) has been used to discuss and disrupt traditional publication patterns and envision beyond the "article" format, new typologies of (not only textual) research products and new forms of dissemination, to meet the challenges of an impactful design education. The context of change of scientific publication and hypothesis underlying the paper have been discussed elsewhere Lupo, 2023). For the purpose of this article, the focus is the training of early stage researchers, in order to make them aware of the potentiality of plurality and diversity of design knowledge publication.…”

“…The state of art of scientific publication transformation and the leading hypothesis underlying the research have been discussed elsewhere Lupo, 2023) and here will be only briefly recalled.…”

The Commodity of Trade in Contemporary Design

“…The two realms of design and art have more recently shown overlapping traits, like production methods, aesthetics (Lupo 2011) and now also in in DesignArt can be labeled as design and what instead can carry the art label is hard, if not impossible. Nevertheless, not even the stubborn bureaucracy of customs policy is able to label consistently as art or design the same item (Beta Tank 2011), as if also from a legal perspective a separation between the two cannot be detected, and may not exist.…”
