Assets and Topics of Design for Envisioning

Since its statement, we have presented the theme of envisioning in its possible (broad) forms. The response to the call on the part of the scholars has confirmed this multiverse interpretation, with interesting gradations depending on the personal path of the researchers involved, local happenings, and the traditions and perspectives of design which concern the research centers and the authors' different schools. The statement, multifaceted, takes on many levels and particularly underscores the theme of "time": variable, independent, and recurring in each one of the stories that cluster around this track. One can certainly affirm that "time", and design's relationship to it, is an essential dimension which is always the most emergent of the discipline.
