Design Research?
Video of lecture by Gillian Crampton-Smith // Convivio // IUAV
I just found out that design research used to be a term for the people who wanted to study, in a rational scientific way, the way designers design, such as to be able to put all that into an artificially intelligent system and then be able to let the computer do designs automatically.Well, you’d guess I think that would have never been possible for several reasons. Gillian Cramption-Smith agrees, but she is still struggling with finding ways of telling ‘just design’ and ‘research in/or/through/about design projects’ apart from one another, if only because she’s in the council that has to fund money for projects only if they can be called ‘research’. Interesting talk and some nice design examples as well.
