CALL FOR PAPERS : COMMUNICATING (BY) DESIGN
In the pursuit of a relevant yet flexible foundation for research in
the design disciplines, practice-led research has generated a tremendous
amount of interest in the recent years. A designer*s knowledge
synthesizes intellectual, creative, experimental and interpretative
skills, arguably exceeding the forms of knowledge privileged by, and in,
conventional research. The *Communicating (by) Design* conference seeks
to investigate developments in the sphere of research by (or through)
design. While our main concern originates in architecture, other design
disciplines are also of interest.
The conference will investigate one of the central challenges for the
design-based researcher, namely that of communicating. Communicating
here may be understood as a set of processes, activities and events,
which take place on different levels in designing - from individual,
inner dialogues, through the issue of naming and defining terms to a
more general problem of the representation of design knowledge - in
order to articulate a set of intentions and values to an audience (which
may be oneself).
Exploring aspects of defining, framing and sharing within design, the
role of listening will also be raised, as the attitude that constitutes
connectivity and allows conversation. The relationship between theory
and practice, or *creative* and *critical* modes of inquiry, will also
form an important theme of discussion, with a view to drawing the
contours of new *hybrid* research practices.
We accordingly welcome different representational forms relating to
design-led research - formal, explorative and/or interpretative -
reflecting both doing and thinking about designing.
The *Communicating (by) Design* conference is organized jointly
between:
Sint-Lucas School of Architecture in Brussels and Ghent, Belgium and
Department of Architecture at the Chalmers University of Technology in
Göteborg, Sweden.
The organizers welcome all relevant contributions in the area of
research by design, especially those addressing the following topics:
* research object(s) in design
* knowledge processes in design
* knowledge representation in (through) design
* reflective processes in design
* communication inwards and outwards in designing
* languages, modes of communication of-for practice based research
* forms and processes of knowledge production through design
* forms and outcomes of practice driven research
* practice based design strategies
* practice oriented design strategies
* design - research relations: the singular vs the repetitive, doing vs
explaining, prescription vs description
