As such, design is one of the core topics of the Human-Computer Interaction journal. The papers presented in this special issue effectively capture the scope of inquiry into methodological issues of design and the current state of the art. Topics addressed include enriching design practices in HCI; ways to consolidate and reuse current best practices in design; and a synopsis of a vast amount of empirical work to form a comprehensive theory of design. Conveying an overview of current research, Foundations of Design in HCI serves to enlighten and simultaneously inspire and guide further contributions to the field.
