December 2004 - December 2005(Contact: Dr John Stell - School of Computing, University of Leeds or Professor Ken Hay - School of Design, University of Leeds. or Prof. Lynne Cameron)
Funded By: EPSRC and AHRC
Designing for the 21st Century is a joint initiative of EPSRC and AHRC to support leading-edge design research which will explore new modes of design thinking suitable for the challenges of designing for 21st Century society.
The initiative aims to:
- foster the formation of a new diverse community with a common reference framework and shared understanding of theoretical concepts, cultures, methods and languages stimulate new ways of design thinking able to meet the challenges of designing for 21st Century society
- support leading-edge design research that is self-reflective, socially aware, economically enterprising and internationally significant

The Leeds cluster Spatiality in Design brings together researchers and research users in a cross-disciplinary network to explore spatial concepts in design. Working alongside colleagues from Computer Science and from Design, I use ideas around the metaphorical conceptualisation of space and the textual and visual analysis of metaphor in discourse as a research method for investigating people’s understandings of spatiality.
