The discipline of design has not always been considered a branch with the rigour to merit sufficient attention from the scientific community,but today, more than ever, we need to give it the relevance it deserves. Design is a powerful tool for transforming our environment, how we live, how we communicate and even how we live in a sustainable way. This new relevance has been accompanied by an improvement in design research, with greater and deeper reflections, which have led to new strategies and new developments.

The magazine Concept aims to show a selection of Final Degree Projects that have been generated in ESADA within one of the lines of research that the school has. It is born from the enthusiasm of our teaching staff to improve and to bring new challenges to our students, it arises from the passion for the work of the Final Degree Project tutors and the excitement generated by the discovery of new ways in a field hitherto unknown to the scientific world.
