Lecture by Prof. Dr. Dagmar Johanna Steffen
Design Research: Interference of Theory and Practice

 

On 25 November 2021, Prof. Dr. Dagmar Steffen gave a lecture followed by a discussion as part of the lecture series “Research & Design” of the master’s degree program “Transformation Design” at the Faculty of Design at Augsburg University of Applied Sciences in Germany. The four-part lecture series focus on questions of what research in the rapidly changing field can look like and what possibilities designers have for producing knowledge.

In her lecture “Design Research: Interference of Theory and Practice”, Dr. Steffen addressed the relationship between the interest in knowledge production and design practice as well as the role of design objects in research.

Other speakers are Judith Dörrenbächer (University of Siegen), Helga Schmid (London College of Communication) and in January 2022, Claudia Mareis (Humboldt University Berlin).
