Design is changing, and to educate the next generation of designers, these changes need to be addressed. In light of the growing role research and interdisciplinary collaboration play in contemporary design performance, "Design Integrations" calls for an innovative shake up in design education.Contributors, all educators and practitioners, assert that design research is developed through a typology within academic and business contexts, and follows different research theories and strategies. Issues in design collaboration are explored in-depth, with essays on an inter-institutional academic project, cross-cultural learning experiences, and a multi-national health care project, demonstrating the importance of shared values, interdisciplinary negotiated process and clear communication for tomorrow's designers.
