Design Interactions Alumni List
Not a publication in the classic sense, but I was lacking a better place.
The Design Interactions department at the Royal College of Art led by Anthony Dunne accepted students from 2006 to 2014, leading to some 150 M.A. graduations.
The tutors and students of this department have been influential in coining the design world’s understanding of Critical Design, Speculative Design and Design Fiction in these years and still continue to set impulses. The approach of the course was different in the sense that it was not so much geared towards normative impact and persuasion of the public but instead showed a high interest in more subtle and multi-perspective forms of empathy for other forms of society, technology and ethics.
Since the original RCA Design Interaction website was shut down a while ago I found it’s worth setting up a list to collect the names and websites of the alumni as a hub for historical research or simply to catch up on what these people have been up to in the meanwhile.
This list comes without any guarantee. If you spot something incorrect/missing or want to be removed from the list please drop me a line. Many websites went offline in the meanwhile or people have changed their professional direction and abandoned critical and speculative design. Please try to look up their websites in the Wayback Machine of the Internet Archive in such cases.
