Summary on Grant Application Form |

Recent research and activity in aspects of spatiality across the Arts, Sciences and Humanities has unleashed a flood of new and exciting concepts, methodologies and techniques many of which remain largely unexplored by designers and design researchers. Examples include work on qualitative spatial relationships (concepts such as alongside, near, part of etc) from artificial intelligence, work on spatial realization of the dynamics of conciliation talk from applied linguistics, explorations of cyberspace by digital artists, and progress towards spatial ontologies to support semantic description of content on the world wide web (Semantic Web). These and other examples are significant for design because they can be used to promote new collaborations, introduce new interdisciplinary concepts into design and develop challenges for future research. We will achieve this through activities including: (1) identification of common spatial themes across diverse design sectors by the highly interdisciplinary team of investigators and other participants, (2) collaborative mapping of spatiality in design by all participants resulting in electronic (hyper-)map and the creation of an online community centred on spatiality, (3) creative workshops focussing on design in information, textiles and performance, (4) a Spatiality Marketplace where participants meet to exchange problems, solutions, challenges and ideas.
