Welcome to the second edition of Iterations

It gives me great pleasure to introduce the second edition of Iterations. We continue from the success of Dr. Adam de Eyto’s work in initiating and launching this publication in June of this year. Quite simply, it’s a very exciting time to be a design researcher and practitioner in Ireland. Irish Design 2015 has assisted many fantastic initiatives that have ignited this excitement. On a personal note, being editor of Iterations and co-chairing the Faultlines conference in designCORE at the Institute of Technology, Carlow this year has been very encouraging. We now have a much needed and progressive design research field emerging in Ireland. Coming to the fore of the design field is a depth and breadth of research across the disciplinary bandwidth with fascinating research composites in-between.
