This insightful work explores design practices and knowledge through reflective inquiry, showcasing how Design Praxiology and Phenomenology influences both designers and their subjects.
In Design Praxiology and Phenomenology, the authors delve into the intricate relationship between design practices and the knowledge that informs them. By engaging in reflective inquiry, they explore design epistemology—the ways in which designers come to know and understand their craft. This exploration is complemented by a focus on design praxiology, which examines the actual practices employed in the design process. Through a series of self-studies and case studies, the authors illustrate the profound impact that design has on both the practitioners and the subjects of their inquiry.
The book offers valuable insights from a variety of experts and professionals who engage in diverse forms of design across different contexts, such as workplaces and public domains. These perspectives provide a richer understanding of how design practices are perceived and executed from the designers' viewpoints. The case studies included serve as practical examples, showcasing how designers cultivate their expertise and navigate the complexities of their work.
Ultimately, Design Praxiology and Phenomenology not only highlights the significance of reflective inquiry in design but also inspires educators to integrate design thinking and practices into their curricula. By presenting a comprehensive view of design as both a theoretical and practical discipline, the authors encourage readers to appreciate the multifaceted nature of design and its relevance in various fields.
