Technological changes continue to evolve the act of making, the actualisation of design agency, in different contexts. As such, design-making imposes demands upon design praxis in both disciplinary and professional contexts. Clients and young designers wonder why design-makers rely on expensive and time-consuming processes in making concepts a reality, as it seems a difficult path to justify.

This issue of the CUBIC JOURNAL examines making and the value structures connected to this premise, before and after execution. Fifteen authors and research teams present their work in design research, providing a diverse range of creative and scholarly enterprises from several regions of the world.
