In 2016, the current professorship Tactical Design was started under the name E||scape for product design and interior architecture with Jeroen van den Eijnde as professor (see also www.e-scape.artez.nl). This book is a pictorial and textual representation of his lecture. He describes what research at an art college in the field of product and interior design can mean.
He proposes research that is indebted to the tradition of art education and based on the artisanal knowledge of creative processes, on the abductive and speculative thinking of artists and designers and on their critical and often ethically motivated questions. A form of design research into products and spaces from which people derive their identity. Research that constantly moves between the personal motives of individual designers and the questions that society poses to them.
