Gopi, Luke and Dermott
Many thanks for these and yours in other email responses. These are all very useful, thanks much.
I am keen most of all to grasp what is so unique about Heidegger's notion of a human being (Dasein).
How does that different (if so) account of being a (human) being change what we can say about design and the designer's thinking?
What's the relationship (if any) in our being Dasein and in us embarking on designs?
Was Schon a Heideggerian? This is new and very interesting to me. If so I can perhaps see why: the while idea of open-endedness in designing, re-framing etc.
Thanks again
Jude

Dear Jude,
I am not sure if you are referring to Heidegger's writing about design or the design discipline drawing from Heidegger.
For the former, one of the places to start would be with his essay "The Question Concerning Technology". It is relatively readable although it has conceptual references to his other works.
For the latter, I am familiar with the following (all of these are from the field of HCI because that's my field). These works draw from Heidegger's thought and talk about it as it applies to design - some are more explicit than the other.
~ Winograd & Flores - Understanding Computers and Cognition: A New Foundation for Design ~ Paul Dourish - Where the action is ~ Schon's work on reflective practice ~ Suchman's Human-machine reconfigurations
Also, is there a specific theme you are looking for? Such as his view on technology or phenomenological methodology?
Regards,
Gopi
