Design Philosophy Papers comes with a passion to communicate, share and argue for a much greater recognition of importance of design as a force in the contemporary world. DPP aims to increase understanding of the significance of design by the wider intellectual community as well as by designers, and to raise the level of international debate about design.
Design Philosophy Papers has both an ephemeral form as an online journal and a permanent form as The DPP Collection.
