The Ontology of Design Research
Miguel Ángel Herrera Batista
Über dieses Buch
This book seeks to establish the meaning of design research, its role in the field, and the characteristics that differentiate research in design from research in other fields.
The author introduces a model to explain the relationship between the components of the ontological reality of design: the designed object, the designer, and the user. Addressing design research across disciplines, the author establishes a foundational understanding of research, and research paradigms, for the design disciplines. This will be crucial for the emerging field of design research to find its own identity and move forward, building its own knowledge base as it finds its positioning between science and art.
The book will be of interest to scholars working in design history, design studies, graphic design, industrial design, interior design, architecture, fashion design, and service design.
