Design Informatics is opening its doors for a pop-up showcase of 30+ projects exploring the future of design, data and its implications on society and the world. Our theme is fab* - speaking to how design fabricates, fabulates and is core to the fabric of the world. Come see emerging ideas, polished demos, research products, and mingle with our researchers!
Digital Siblings
10.30-17.00
Jupiter Artland
Since 2010, Edinburgh Napier University and Jupiter Artland have been exploring ways for capturing the experience of this extraordinary sculpture park through digital technology. In this full day session we will investigate and explore the capture and transmission of the intangible. Our work has led us to propose Digital Siblings as a high level concept. We will spend the morning experiencing and exploring the park and the afternoon discussing how we might capture and transmit this experience.

V&A Dundee
V&A Dundee are Scotland's design museum. We advocate for the power of design – as both extraordinary and brilliantly ordinary, shaping our daily lives. For DRS2026, we're offering private guided tours of several exhibits, including Catwalk: The Art of the Fashion Show and Design and Disability.
DRS P.S!
11.00-13.30
Inspace
After a week of presentations, workshops, and panels at DRS26, this debrief session will unpack (and repack) key themes and questions ... How do we value (and make best use of) design-led research? In a field noted for its pluralistic approaches, how can we articulate and mobilise the potential and value of this diverse form of practice? What gets lost in translation between design, academia and civic society? In a world that is ‘unthinkable’, how can design-led research help us locate a more hopeful future?
