The design research community is constantly dealing in new ways with the ever-changing relationship between technology, society and the earth. Therefore, design research is in a constant state of transition. These transitions impact the things we make and research, the questions we ask and the tools and methods we develop and use. Technological developments in Artificial Intelligence, Bioengineering and networked systems trigger us to study where the natural ends and the artificial begins.

It also provokes questions such as "What makes us human?" or, "How should we live our lives in times of planetary and economic crisis?

5 Themes addresses different transitions in design research from the natural to the artificial, from the past to the future and from traditional to innovative ways of creation.
