Creating knowledge : visual communication design research in transdisciplinary projects

Jennifer Williams, Dena Fam, Abby Mellick Lopes

Western Sydney University

Research output: Chapter in Book / Conference Paper › Chapter

Abstract

The chapter asserts that visual communication design has the potential to be considered a ‘meta’ activity in order to significantly contribute to transdisciplinary forms of collaboration. Through the lens of a metadesign framework we explore what it might offer visual communication designers in future transdisciplinary research, drawing from the authors’ experiences of working in a transdisciplinary project team where unique forms of visual knowledge were required.
