Hi Rosan and list,
There is a special issue of the journal Visible Language Vol. 36 (2)
2002 titled 'An Annotated Design Research Bibliography: by and for the
design community'.
http://visiblelanguagejournal.com/web/issues/issue/an_annotated_design_research_bibliography_by_and_for_the_design_community
-snip-
This Annotated Design Research Bibliography brings together a network
of design scholars to select the most relevant bibliographical
references for the field of design. The books that appear annotated
are selected through two analytical approaches: the essentialness of
the book determined through a design community on-line ranking survey,
and the discipline distribution through field-keyword analysis.
Annotations were collected from the volunteer on-line survey
participants and a more focused community of individuals targeted for
each particular section including members of the Ph.D. listserv, the
Ph.D. community at the Institute of Design and its database. The
project consists of ninety books in three essential areas of design
study: 1) Philosophy and Theory of Design, 2) Principles and Methods
of Design Research, 3) Theory and Practice. Interpretations of the
observations from the data collected from the on-line bibliographic
survey are also suggestive of the state of design as a discipline.
