CFP: Acta Academiae Artium Vilnensis issue: Design processes
The peer reviewed journal Acta Academiae Artium Vilnensis calls for papers to be published in the 102nd volume at the end of 2021. The issue is devoted to design research topics.
We would like to invite researchers and designers to investigate various subjects and problems related to design processes, as very broad and essential topic.
In his classical work "Vision in Motion" (1943) László Moholy-Nagy advocated for designing as complex and intricate task: “It is the organization of materials and processes in the most productive, economic way, in a harmonious balance of all elements necessary for a certain function“.
Thus, today we have so many and very differentiated forms of design activities from very traditional roles of designers (product design, graphic design, fashion design, interior design, art or conceptual design) to critical design, service design, neurodesign, performative design etc. The issue welcomes historic, contemporary and interdisciplinary approaches to the topic and invites contributions from design historians, designers, and scholars in related fields; as well as practitioners, and managers who engage with design.
The issue celebrates the 60th anniversary of Design Department at Vilnius Academy of Arts. The Design Department was established in 1961 under the initiative of Feliksas Daukantas (1915–1995), the first Head of the Department, which at the beginning was entitled as the Department of Artistic Construction of Industrial Products.

- Design theory and history: personalities, events, tendencies, narratives
