Why Designers can´t think from Michael Bierut

Collective Design from DMI Design

"Design leads solutions to an inclusive, integrated and inspiring process that transforms experiences for a better life, through a laser focus on the user. 


From the large to the small, visible to the invisible, group to the individual, COLLECTIVE DESIGN will surface and reveal the innermost workings in infrastructure, policy, planning, research, organization, innovation and management that occur behind the scenes and on the front lines of design and business. 


  What is the role of design leadership in this new world of collective design?

International Journal of Sustainability in Higher Education

International Journal of Sustainability in Higher Education is freely available for one week.

The issue of sustainability in a higher education context is, to some extent, a rather recent theme. Current journals are either focusing on sustainable development or on general higher education. There are no specific fully-refereed outlets to date, to disseminate the broad body of work and knowledge currently available on sustainability in a higher education context. 


International Journal of Sustainability in Higher Education (IJSHE) is therefore the first scholarly publication to specifically address the need for the dissemination of this information. 

Persons and organisations interested in sustainability in higher education, may access all issues published in the journal, free of charge, for the period 30^th January - 5^th February 2012,
