All Discipline Guidelines

The disciplinary guidelines are intended to be used to formalize, codify, circulate, and normalize patterns of doing and knowing PCD into disciplinary infrastructures and institutions. These guidelines are also framed as questions, which are a starting point to be regularly modified and made more specific as they are addressed toward what needs to be done, who can do it, and how. These questions should be asked by individual designers seeking deeper engagement in the transformation of design, by design practices committed to and engaged in transformation, and by the members, constituents, and participants of disciplinary institutions. The details are the fuzziest here because the specific challenges, needs, and resources required for disciplinary transformation will necessarily emerge from those engaged in it through practice and theory (research and education). Nonetheless, the basic contours are laid out for taking the first steps.
