Coralling the most relevant and creative on- and off-line bits that pertain to the design community – and said community is openly invited and encouraged to add their hard-earned links.
One of the goals of The Design Encyclopedia is to be one of the largest and most diverse repositories of information and writing about design. To meet this goal, as well as to provide an alternative publishing platform for design professionals, students, writers and educators we are starting a branch of The Design Encyclopedia simply called Written. The intention is to maintain a collection of unpublished essays, theses or papers by students, teachers, professionals or anyone with an inclination to write critically about design. Out of print or limited-exposure writings from magazines or journals are also more than welcome. We will keep a running list on this page, and will add them as related links on appropriate entries throughout The Design Encyclopedia.
Please contact the Editors to submit a piece to be included in Written or if you have any questions.
