Spanning Biennial publications and Daftar, Design Doha’s long-form editorial platform, this section foregrounds research as an ongoing process rather than a fixed outcome. It traces the ideas, contexts, and questions that inform design practice, creating a shared resource for designers, researchers, and wider audiences interested in how design shapes—and is shaped by—cultural, social, and material conditions.
Design Thinking
Design Thinking brings together Design Doha’s research, publications, and long-form reflections, offering space for learning, inquiry, and critical engagement. Through essays, documentation, and ongoing research, the section explores design as a way of thinking, making, and understanding the world.
