rrrreflect. Journal of Integrated Design Research
is a digital open-access journal that publishes design research from KISD and beyond under the Creative Commons license CC-BY 4.0. It is published online and archived as a publication series by Cologne Open Science.
With this design research journal, we open up an experimental field for textual and non-textual forms of knowledge, including image, video and sound. In doing so, we enter into a dialogue with the current discourse on the scientificity of design research and at the same time refer to the sensual dimensions of perception as epistemically constituting.
