Abstract
Design is a key present and future contributor to the wealth of nations. It is a discipline in the sense that it is a coherent body of thought and practice, but in academia is almost invariably distributed across disciplines concerned with particular kinds of design. Successful design work involves many such disciplines. Contemporary design practice demonstrates work organizations in which no one discipline has privilege of priority. Several trends, including globalization, environmental limits, multiple clients and criteria, limited disciplinary perspectives, design tools, collaboration, disruptive technologies and changing patterns of design education point to an increasing scope both for the act of design in society and of the disciplines that must effectively interact on design problems. An implication is a need for a corresponding increase in communication and collaboration across all relevant design disciplines.
