N1 - This book, edited by Inns, contains 22 chapters written by over 60 authors. It tracks development of UK's Designing for the 21st Century Research Initiative since March 2004 through to the end of Phase 1 projects in 2006. Inns is Director for this £6.5 million AHRC and EPSRC initiative (supported by £405,000 EPSRC/AHRC award to UoDundee). In Phase One 21 network projects were led by UK HEIs, each of which has contributed 5000 word chapter to book. These contributions describe the context of enquiry, the journey taken by research teams and key insights generated through discourse. Inns, provides an introductory chapter (pp.11 - 26) that suggests ways the reader might navigate these different viewpoints. The introductory chapter describes the generic journey take by the projects and details a changing landscape for design and new emergent roles for the designer. These insights are based on review of all 21 projects and dialogue with Phase 1 researchers during workshops organised by Inns at the Design Council 2.2.05 (www.design21.dundee.ac.uk/PDF/02febreport.pdf), the Lighthouse, Glasgow in 8-10.11.05 (www.design21.dundee.ac.uk/PDF/nov05report.pdf) and a one day symposium ‘Design Dialogues’ organised & chaired by Inns at RIBA, London on 7.3.06. Inns presented a 5000 word paper on this work at the EAD Conference in Izmir, Turkey 12.4.07. He gave a key note speech on the work to the Humanities European Research Association at ‘The Humanities as a source of Creativity & Innovation’ at RIBA, London on 15.6.07. Inns has presented the work by invitation to the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Copenhagan 15.11.07. On 3.12.07 Inns has been invited by the AHRC & FCO to present this work at ‘Beyond Borders Workshop’ on ‘innovation & investment in research’ in Sao Paulo, Brazil for the UK/Brazil year of science & innovation on 3 December 2007

N2 - As we become familiar with the 21st century we can see that what we are designing is changing, new technologies support the creation of new forms of product and service, and new pressures on business and society demand the design of solutions to increasingly complex problems, sometimes local, often global in nature. Customers, users and stakeholders are no longer passive recipients of design, expectations are higher, and increased participation is often essential. This book explores these issues through the work of 21 research teams. Over a twelve-month period each of these groups held a series of workshops and events to examine different facets of future design activity as part of the UK's research council supported Designing for the 21st Century Research Initiative. Each of these 21 contributions describes the context of enquiry, the journey taken by the research team and key insights generated through discourse. Editor and Initiative Director, Tom Inns, provides an introductory chapter that suggests ways that the reader might navigate these different viewpoints.
