The Design Research Conference (DRC), organized by graduate students at the IIT Institute of Design in Chicago, brings together a large and expanding network of design professionals. This year’s twelfth annual conference explores the forces of ego, empathy, technology, and humanity and aims to understand design’s role in mediating these forces: Are they opposable? Synthesized? Unified? Practicing designers, artists, scientists, engineers, educators, and entrepreneurs will present a variety of perspectives on balancing multiple creative forces amidst complex systems and issues.
The IIT Institute of Design was founded in 1937 as The New Bauhaus. Today, ID is the largest full-time graduate-only design program in the U.S. with a curriculum centered on a methodological and human-centered approach to design and strategy.
The DRC will be held October 8-9, 2013 at the Field Museum in Chicago, Illinois. Find more information concerning the conference, speakers and registration at drc.id.iit.edu.

I know, some will say: What does PEPSI the soft drink comany has incomen with design research? Or what has marketing to do in scientific project work? And does the company (mis)use a design research project for branding? – But you know, I do not care about vanity or reservations this time and will focus on the project, and that is a very unique approach in many ways.

The Institute of Design at Stanford University offers a set – or how they call it “cookbook” of methods they use – the Bootcamp Bootleg.

found a promising trailer of a documentary, exploring the idea of “design & thinking“.
Website: http://www.designthinkingmovie.com/
Trailer: http://vimeo.com/27058468
“The film, by One Time Studio in San Francisco, will feature interviews with a smattering of design minds. Among them: laptop inventor and IDEO cofounder Bill Moggridge; Smart Design cofounder Dan Formosa; and AIGA CEO Richard Grefe. The point here is to explore “the impact design thinking has on the world.”

I am really looking forward to see the movie.
