Design Research: Making of a Connected Discipline Part 2

Design Research: Making of a Connected Discipline Part 2

Chow, Rosan

Position paper:

In “Design Research: Making of a Connected Discipline Part 1”, I argue that the social circumstances and the nature of design inquiry and the changing academic research practice which tend towards inter/ trans-disciplinarity render building a unified and bounded discipline unrealistic and undesirable. In place of unified and bounded, I suggest connected to be a more viable concept to think about disciplinary research in design. Here in Part 2, I make some suggestions to start making of a connected discipline.
