“...a blurring of traditional design domains.” [Sanders, 2006]
“...a new capacity for collaboration has encouraged new types of design practice.” [Hight and Perry, 2006].
“Encouraged by the rise of telecommunication technologies, new interconnections and configurations of knowledge have materialized and presented new opportunities for creative practice.” [Gibbons et al, 1994].

Changes in Design Practice
• Professional (Discipline Blurring)• Economical (Employment and Financial Shifts)• Technological (Developments in Information and Computing
Technologies)

The problems of society are increasingly complex and interdependent.

They are not isolated to particular sectors or disciplines.

They are emergent phenomena with non-linear uncertainties.

“Designers no longer fit neatly into categories such as product, furniture and graphics; rather they are a mixture of artists, engineers, designers, entrepreneurs and anthropologists.” [West, 2007]

There are significant transformations within the design industry. Projects now integrate various disciplinary influences, skills, knowledge, and new designer hybrids.
![Page 24: Transfiguring Disciplinary Boundaries](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103101/56814212550346895dae1be4/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
‘Multi-disciplinary design’, ‘cross-disciplinary design’, ‘interdisciplinary design’ and ‘trans-disciplinary design’ each have their own distinct characteristics.
![Page 25: Transfiguring Disciplinary Boundaries](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103101/56814212550346895dae1be4/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Are Definitions of Design Relevant today?
![Page 26: Transfiguring Disciplinary Boundaries](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103101/56814212550346895dae1be4/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
In practice, disciplines are constructs that we can choose to adhere to or not.
![Page 27: Transfiguring Disciplinary Boundaries](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103101/56814212550346895dae1be4/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
In academia, discipline boundaries are important for research/teaching.

What are the implications for design practice, education and research?
![Page 29: Transfiguring Disciplinary Boundaries](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103101/56814212550346895dae1be4/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
What methods will foster ‘better’ approaches to design?

How can we improve the activities of designing objects and ‘cultures’?
