Book Description
This book offers insight into designerly ways of knowing from the perspectives of experts and professionals engaging in diverse forms of design in workplaces and other public domains. It also aids in the understanding of design practices from designers’ viewpoints via case studies. By pursuing a reflective inquiry in their design epistemology (designerly ways of knowing), design praxiology (practices of design), or design phenomenology (forms of designs), self-studies of design practices, and presenting studies of designs, the authors of this book demonstrate how they influence the people and the object of inquiry or design. The case studies presented in this book also illustrate how designers develop their expertise, and provides inspiration for the incorporation of design-thinking and practice in education.

Book Description
AbstractCross (1999 & 2006) describes a taxonomy of the field of design research, stating that there are three main categories, based on people, processes and products:? Design epistemology? study of designerly ways of knowing;? Design praxiology? study of the practices and processes of design;? Design phenomenology? study of the form and configuration of artefacts (Cross, 1999: 6). Cross highlights that design is a is a socio-cultural activity and therefore the description of designing cannot be complete without taking the opinions and experiences of designers into account, rather than just studying the objects and processes of their work. Dorst (1997: 19) argued that design researchers have paid insufficient attention to the experience of designing and that by improving our knowledge of this phenomenon a more complete account of design activities would be achieved. If design researchers can develop a more comprehensive account of design activities it will contribute to bridging the gap between design theory and design practice. In design methodology there has developed two fundamentally different ways of approaching design, formalised into two paradigms: 'rational problem solving' (also known as technical rationality) (Simon, 1969) and 'reflective practice' (SchOn, 1983 & 1987). Simon defined designing as an instrument of rational problem solving where, in its best and purest form, it is a process of optimisation. Within the paradigm of rational problem solving, problem solvers (designers) are goal-seeking information processing systems, operating in an objective and knowable reality. Under the paradigm of rational problem solving, studying the inner environment, experience or phenomenology of designers is unimportant and illogical. Sch6n criticised the prevailing positivist paradigm, of technical rationality, stating that it fails to account for practical competence in divergent situations. Schiin's theory of design as reflective practice, attempted to address the dilemma and balance between rigour and relevance, focusing upon acts of intelligence within situations of uncertainty and developing an epistemology of practice, which places technical rationality within a broader context of reflective inquiry. In the constructionist paradigm of design as reflective practice the designer is placed in a central role in design activities. However, while the theory of design as reflective practice places the practitioner centrally, describing the action-orientated steps in reflective inquiry, it objectifies the practice of design; and therefore, the theory of reflective practice, as defined by SchOn, falls short of an understanding of the experience of designing. Progress can be made toward developing the theory of reflective practice and further increasing the theory's relevance to design as it is practised by developing our understanding of the experience of designing. This study is concerned with the experiences and conditions that occur as expert designers practise reflective practice within design practice. It develops our knowledge of design as it is experienced by providing descriptions of the design experience based upon the reflections of expert designers. This thesis describes an embedded multiple-case study with multiple units of analysis, where qualitative data about the experience of designing were obtained from eight semi-structured interviews with expert designers. Based upon the process of conjecture and refutation the thesis presents a discourse analysis to test theoretical propositions and draw conclusions about the experience of designing. The findings of this data analysis support the following conclusions:The design process of uncertainty resolution generates emotional fluctuation and disquiet. When operating in situations of volatility and ambiguity, expert designers use creative thinking as a coping mechanism to escape their fear and uncertainty. Creative thinking is used to frame and reframe the design situation in an attempt to create conceptual certainty and synthesis explored through propositional change experiments. Contextualised by the challenge of the design situation the creative element of the design experience is stimulated by: iterative attempts to escape the discomfort of uncertainty and manifest clarity through the creative moment; attempts to protect the conceptual certainty and joy of a design proposition; and the need to do better and have their propositions accepted and considered valuable by other people. The significance of the study is that it moves beyond design practice theory and descriptive models of design processes; it focuses on the practise of design practice, describing the experience of expert designers' professional activities. The key contribution is to further our understanding about, and help describe elements of, the experience of designing, relating those descriptions to the theory of design as reflective practice. This study frames designers' activities from the perspective of their experience and their relationship with uncertainty, thereby providing new ways to understand designing.

Book Description
The Routledge Companion to Design Research offers a comprehensive examination of design research, celebrating the plurality of design research and the wide range of conceptual, methodological, technological and theoretical approaches evident in contemporary design research. This volume comprises 39 original and high quality design research chapters from contributors around the world, with offerings from the vast array of disciplines in and around modern design praxis, including areas such as industrial and product design, visual communication, interaction design, fashion design, service design, engineering and architecture. The Companion is divided into five distinct sections with chapters that examine the nature and process of design research, the purpose of design research, and how one might embark on design research. They also explore how leading design researchers conduct their design research through formulating and asking questions in novel ways, and the creative methods and tools they use to collect and analyse data. The Companion also includes a number of case studies that illustrate how one might best communicate and disseminate design research through contributions that offer techniques for writing and publicising research. The Routledge Companion to Design Research will have wide appeal to researchers and educators in design and design-related disciplines such as engineering, business, marketing, computing, and will make an invaluable contribution to state-of-the-art design research at postgraduate, doctoral, and post-doctoral levels and teaching across a wide range of different disciplines.

Book Description
This volume presents 25 essays on the philosophy of design. With contributions originating from philosophy and design research, and from product design to architecture, it gives a rich spectrum of state of the art research and brings together studies on philosophical topics in which design plays a key role and design research to which philosophy contributes. Coverage zooms in on specific and more well-known design disciplines but also includes less-studied disciplines, such as graphic design, interior architecture and exhibition design. In addition, contributors take up traditional philosophical issues, such as epistemology, politics, phenomenology and philosophy of science. Some essays cover philosophical issues that emerge in design, for instance what design can do in addressing societal problems, while other essays analyze main-stream philosophical issues in which design is part of the argument, as for instance abduction and aesthetics. Readers will discover new research with insightful analyses of design research, design thinking and the specificity of design. Overall, this comprehensive overview of an emerging topic in philosophy will be of great interest to researchers and students.

Book Description
This book draws from philosophy, psychology, object studies, and design theory to articulate the intersection of design thinking and human experience. When designers talk about related fields, they often mention anthropology, cognitive science, psychology, information science, etc., but philosophy is usually left out. Why? Why don't we talk about philosophy as a contributor to the understanding of design, especially when phenomenology, the philosophical study of human experience, has contributed so much to our understanding of the interrelation between humans and technology? Design for Dasein attempts to apply phenomenological thinking to design in order to further inform what designers (especially what we might call "experience designers") do in their day to day work. Many activities designers perform every day can be traced back to insights from phenomenology. Activities like user testing, prototyping, sketching, interaction models, personas, interviewing, ethnography, participatory design, and processes like design thinking and lean UX all have phenomenological roots. The book will highlight these connections and explore how they contribute to designing better experiences, providing the reader with new ways of thinking about his or her work, and new strategies for designing systems for both present and future scenarios.

Book Description
This series provides a multidisciplinary framework for scholarly approaches to video games in the humanities. It focuses especially on the dialectics of methodology and object: how do different scholarly fields apply their theories and methods to video games, and how do video games in turn affect these theories and methods? This series seeks to reconnect media-centric Game Studies to the disciplines it had to distance itself from in its foundation, such as literary studies or film studies, in an attempt to use their differences and contact zones in a mutually productive dialogue. It also seeks to present innovative approaches in other fields in the humanities that have yet to consider video games in a systematic way, and give a home to ground-breaking publications that push the boundaries of existing discourses and debates. In this endeavor, the series is committed to a decidedly global scope as it assembles perspectives from different cultural and academic contexts. In short, this series wants to see what the humanities do with video games and what video games do to the humanities. Proposals can be send to: [email protected] Advisory Board: Alenda Y.

Book Description
The question, 'how to do things with words?' (John L. Austin) could characterize the field of pedagogy in general, if not also practices, structural and material aspects had to be taken into account. The empirical question how social practices constitute a (binding) reality comes close to the praxeological perspective. On one side, 'praxeology' is a specific methodological approach to explore practices empirically. On the other side, it covers philosophical or sociological theories of action regarding sociality as generated by social practices and contextual structures. Practices are supposed to transmit, constitute and create ?establish e.g. social orders. The focus lies on corporal, performative and emergent aspects of the practices. All the mainly empirical studies in this volume deal with the praxeological question how sociality is generated in dynamic and relational actions in a pedagogical frame.
