Knowing
research: researching, knowledge and designing
The
following argument is made: research as understood in sciences is not
the only source of reliable knowledge. Design processes both use knowledge
and also produce personal knowing and collective knowledge. Such knowledge
is different, not inferior. It has characteristics in common with other
knowledges and the distinct character of being embodied in the process
of designing itself. This renders it hard to examine other than via the
self-interrogation of designers. The knowledge produced in design is stored,
transmitted and learnt through canonic works in a memetic manner such
that design knowledge leads creatively to more design knowledge.
