The monographic issue describes design as inventor through narratives, illustrations of approaches and experiments. It is a mapping of the design culture useful to decipher the complexity of design, explore the boundaries and draw the possible lines of evolution.
Thinking, inventing and producing: reality – the physical and psychological world – becomes material for continuous investigation and interpretation.
In order to arrive at innovative results the research of design “disrupts to reformulate”, through the propensity to re-discuss established paradigms, methods and schemes.
The orientation towards experimentation and the tendency towards disciplinary contamination allow the design to be defined as a “privileged place” not only for engineering invention, but also for the search for new behaviours, new material and sensorial universes which are capable of reformulating in a new and radical way the relations between man and artifacts.
