From desktop quantum physics and aerospace infographics to DIY volcanoes and geological colour schemes, the grey zone between science and design offers rich possibilities for experimentation and collaboration. Through case studies, interviews and conversations, this little primer offers a snapshot of the current interface between the two fields – and those pushing things forward.

DesigningScience was developed with support from the Design Council and a grant scheme focused on boosting some of the design promotion initiatives that design bodies and networks are already undertaking – helping them reach a wider audience of design buyers and users. super/collider is one of 18 organisations which has been awarded a grant in 2010/11 to provide opportunities for designers to communicate the value of design and improve the reach of that message locally, regionally and nationally. www.designcouncil.org.uk
