DESIGN Theory

A lot of people are asking me about basic references to theoretical papers that can support Design based research processes and interaction design in general. Keeping updated with the current litterature is a full time job in itself. However, I can share some of the papers and books that inspired med and I use as a fundament for my academic arguments. The list is rough, unsorted, with duplicates and not regularly updated - but this might get you started on your journey.
