Research Projects of the Institute Contemporary Design Practices (ICDP)

Research at the Institute Contemporary Design Practices (ICDP) is directly linked to the question of the relevance and potential of design in transforming living environments. In basic research, design thinking and action in existing systems and processes are examined from a holistic perspective and transferred to scenarios in which the role of design becomes effective. In application-oriented research, new fields of action for urgent challenges in social coexistence and work are developed in cooperation with external research partners. We work together with universities and companies from industry and creative industries in Switzerland as well as with international research partners.
