Dear all,
I guess most of us agree that some kind self-questioning occurs in
design processes. As far as I know there are mainly two different aims
of self-questioning, wich is acquisition of information (and knowledge)
e. g. at the beginning of the process, and the second aim is the
evaluation (and further improvement) of (first general or even final)
solutions. As far as I know, in practive self-questioning mostly happens
rather unconciously and also not based on a carefully chosen set of
questions.
I came across a number of methods and studies on self-questioning (and
similar techniques like checklists etc.) which aim on the evaluation of
(first) solutions. This literature mostly concerns engineering (design).
However, I am looking for literature etc. on self-questioning (and
related issues) in industrial design, aiming on information/knowledge
acquisition also. Can anyone give me some hints on papers or books I
should read? Maybe you can name some methods or techniques which are
very similar and should be considered also. Your help is much appreciated!
Best regards
