QuBr: A community-based interactive documentary about Design Research

IMPORTANT! Are you interested in Design Research? Do you have questions or opinions about Design Research? If so, please go and take part!

QuBr is an interactive and dynamic discussion about Design Research.

It was inspired by the documentary ‘Question Bridge’ (hence the name Question Bridge).

When you visit the site you will be presented with all of the contributions so far, each contribution includes an answer to a previously asked question, and a brand new question as well. The idea is to explore the Design Research landscape to better understand both the value of Design Research but also what the current challenges and opportunities are.
