Call for Papers

Collection 5 “Art & Design + Economy “

Created in 2009 by Brigitte Borja de Mozota, the research journal Collection aims to bridge the gap between theory and practice linking funda­mental research and members of the art and de­sign community. Collection seeks to disseminate research and to create a synthesis of knowledge pertaining to art and design.

Collection 5 to be published in 2013 aims to in­vestigate and share design processes applied to the immaterial economy. How do new ideas, identities and systems, emerge by applying art and design processes to larger economic issues?

Our 21st century economy is an economy of di­versity and individual subjective preferences that reconstructs territories and meanings. The focus of this issue is on sharing case studies, research, and insights into how innovative design processes and designers’ skills may help solve current problems and challenges of this immaterial economy.

This issue aims to open new directions for design professionals and for design education, re­garding organizational design, corporate transfor­mations, experience industries, social responsibil­ity, environmental and urban contexts. And finally, to develop new theories and models through scal­ing up research in art and design processes using different scientific perspectives.

Subthemes include:

- Experimentation and risk-taking skills for reinventing decision ecosystems and Corporate Social Responsibility for health systems, transpor­tation systems, leisure, and public institutions;

- Visualization skills and integrative skills for developing plural identities and scenarios for brands and creative cities;

- Empathy skills and co-design, design think­ing skills for changing attitudes of institutions in the irrelation to the outside environment, and ser­vice design;

- System skills and holistic skills, developing the awareness of all design stakeholders on the importance of measuring design value in economy and international competition,

Accepted formats include case studies, peda­gogical experiences, research, and social innova­tion projects.
