Dear list members,
After reading Don’s-started thread on intuitive and analytical thinking in design practice. I wonder some of these issues but applied to design research. Lastly, I have been reading proposals for creating a research program in art, design, and architecture within the Colombian Department of Science and Technology (Colciencias).
In major research, analytical thinking dominates the research activities. In some emergent and debated approaches to design research (e.g. research-creation, research through design, practice-led research…), some folks seem to claim for greater recognition of the role of intuition on the research process. I don’t think a creation or design product alone is enough to count as an outcome of systematic academic research. However, how could designers or artists’ intuition have a greater role in systematic knowledge production? Is this possible at all? Could anyone recommend me references related to this issue?
I am also interested in any pointers to epistemology and methodology in research-creation. I already reviewed one of Ken’s papers (Friedman, 2000).
Please note that I am specifically interested in systematic knowledge production, not in knowledge production as a result of reflective practice.
Thank you.
Mauricio
