Impact of Design Research on Practice: The IISc Experience

This chapter undertakes a look into the broad development of design practice, research and education in the Indian context, and uses some of the major developments at Indian Institute of Science (IISc) as exemplars to illustrate its impact on design practice, research, and education. The outcomes of design research can influence practice through multiple routes: by developing organizations of practice to use outcomes of design or its research; by developing products or systems for use by organizations of practice; by developing support and transferring them for use in practice; by developing students, via training in product or support development; or by developing teachers and researchers, via training in research, teaching and/or practice of product or support development, so that they can train students or carry out research in organizations or change practice via any of the other routes. The chapter illustrates each route with exemplars from work carried out at IISc.
