A Design Practice Brief is a short article reporting a design experience of significant and archival value to the design community. Design Practice Briefs address directly the embedding of artifacts in our physical, virtual, psychological, economic, and social environment.  Briefs may address a range of experiences, including how a successful design came to exist, design process implementations, successes or failures of design theories, industry and studio practices, early results from practical implementation of research studies, or insights gained from actual design practice.

Design Practice Briefs are not short research articles, applied research articles or theoretical position papers. They must clearly address the element of  “practice” and they must exhibit sustained value for current and future readers.

Design Practice Briefs undergo full peer review. The recommended length is 3000 words.
