Reviews
'Open Design and Innovation by Leon Cruickshank is in many ways the most comprehensive, courageous, and useful contribution to the discussion around open design so far - historically founded, professionally reflective, giving substantial evidence in five case studies, and including practical advice for open designers . With this monograph, Leon Cruickshank successfully adds his voice and profound thinking to the discussion of open design, prevailing over previous collective works such as my own Open Design Now and the excellent Dutch Open issue of The Design Journal.' Peter Troxler, Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences, the Netherlands and senior editor of Open Design Now 'Cruickshank provides us with unique and fascinating insights into the rapidly expanding field of open design and innovation, describing its origins and underlying theories alongside contemporary applications that do facilitate creativity in everyone.' Rachel Cooper, University of Lancaster, UK

Author Information
Dr Leon Cruickshank is a Reader in ImaginationLancaster, the design research laboratory at Lancaster University. He has been researching new relationships between designers and non-designers for the last 20 years. Driving this research is a desire to allow more people to become more active in shaping our society, environment and media. Requiring a radical change in the way we think about designers and designing this has led to research in design processes, in the role digital technology can play in facilitating new types of interaction and the design of knowledge exchange. It has also led to in-depth research on open design and innovation. He is contributing to or leading a broad range of projects. These include Director of Knowledge Exchange for the GBP4 million AHRC Creative Knowledge Exchange Hub. He is the UK lead for the 4 million PROUD project looking at knowledge exchange through co-design.
