TECHNOLOGY IS LEADING DESIGNERS into unexplored realms. To provide insights on this new territory, Richard Buchanan and his colleagues at Carnegie Mellon University act as scouts sharing reports on the frontier. Themes they discuss include ever‐expanding roles for users in the design process, the flexible nature of identity in a digital world, a fascinating update on rapid prototyping, and a general shift in professional work from the design of objects to the design of experiences.
