The 36th issue of Temes de Disseny (TdD) will focus on Design Futures Now: Literacies and Making, and aims to bring experts from different disciplines to share their knowledge. This issue of Temes de Disseny addresses a mix of topics concerning how design literacies and design making may be understood as ‘future facing’. By doing so, we convey the ways and means design practice and design education may be positioned and activated to work prospectively and be ahead of current concerns with environmental, social and ethical challenges.

This new issue will be published with open access, peer reviewed and indexed content. TdD is a journal that locals and foreign designers can use to share their knowledge internationally. We call for papers (original journal articles, state-of-art reviews, design case studies or pictorials) to gather knowledge regarding the following generic topics:

Unpacking Futures Design Literacies
Futures Making Design Methodologies
Design Futures Skills and Activities
Emergent Futures Scouting in Design Knowing
Designing Futures Pedagogies Collectively
Challenges to Prospective Design
Speculating and Imagining Design Futures Learning
Tools, mediation and materialities in Design Futures Education
Scenarios, personas and procedures in futurescaping Design
Sustainability, Policy and Prospects in Design Literacies
Future challenges from AI and post-industrial work and society

TEMES DE DISSENY

Temes de Disseny (Topics on Design, hereinafter TdD, in its Catalan acronym) started in 1986 as one of the first design local journals written in Catalan. It was created with the goal of being a knowledge transfer channel between design professionals, pedagogues and scholars. TdD aims to bring together knowledge generated by experts from multiple disciplines, who study design from distinct points of view. Each journal edition intends to approach specific topics related to design, such as: design methodologies; innovation through design; indoor spaces and objects shapes; transmedia and macro- trends; design, food and health; visual communication or industrial design, among others.
