Proceedings of the Design Research Society International Conference, 1976: Changing Design
Barrie Evans, James Powell, and Reg Talbot
The DRS 1976 conference was held in Portsmouth. The proceedings were published by John Wiley in 1982. The following text is taken from the book cover:
Both the role and nature of design are changing. Developments within design and from society generally are leading to new opportunities for those traditionally outside the 'design community' to influence, in a creative way, what is designed. This changing scene and the novelty of many major design problems are altering the nature, and more especially the complexity, of designing. Awareness of potential major side effects of designs, both social and physical-such as pollution-, are adding a new dimension...

Proceedings of the Design Research Society International Conference, 1980: Design: Science: Method
Robin Jacques and James Powell
The 1980 DRS Conference proceedings were published IPS Business Press Ltd. The following text is from the introduction of the printed volume:
The 1980 Conference of the Design Reserach Society (DRS) sought to explore further the relationships between design, science and method. In choosing this theme I was aware that as terms their meanings are anything but clear, and the relationships between them even less so. Both science and method have played a large part in design thinking over the past two decades or so, but to many the field is characterised by the arguments of the early years. Method has been, since the 1950's, the focus of the debate among design theorists about the nature of design and its processes. The antagonists have seen design 'method' 'methods' and 'methodology' as variously mechanistic, over-simplistic, joyless, or as denying the essentially creative nature of design.

Proceedings of the Design Research Society International Conference, 1971: Design Participation
Nigel Cross
To explore the possibilities and problems of user participation in design the Design Research Society sponsored an international conference on Design Participation, in September 1971, which brought together a wide range of people whose interests overlap in this area. Topics covered by speakers at the conference included social technology, consumer interests, participation in planning, adaptable environments, design methods and computer aids for participatory design.
