Dear All,
In Medicine a great deal of research is done by doing medical acts.
There is no doubt that a practical profession such as medicine requires
that kind of experimentation/validation/implementation processes that go
trough the practice of medicine. Like in design, medical research is
goal oriented and practice led.
The thing is that medical research is supported by heavy sciences such
as biology, physiology, cytology, toxicology, you name it, and thus very
well regarded as research. Whereas, apparently design research (when
doing design) stands on the top of nothing.
But we all know that design research may be also supported by heavy
sciences like Sociology, Anthropology, Psychology, Engineering Sciences
and so many more. What we must not confuse is what these sciences are
and what design research is (or should be) supported by them.
Baby goat in Northern Portugal with Mediterranean herbs, small potatoes
and rice. All this (in separate recipients) inside a oven designed to
bake bread. Wine will be from Douro valley, for sure.
My parotid glands are in full power, now.
Best regards,
