Hello,
While writing the case studies I proposed a couple of weeks ago, it came
clear some concepts needed explaining separately.
These are concepts I've been using for some time because they address
contradictions or irregularities in design theory, or they seem to better
explain design activity. Mostly they are the result of my research, some of
which is posted in peer reviewed journals. For others, their publication has
been outside the journal arena although most of the publications have been
peer-reviewed. Where not peer-reviewed, concepts are typically widely used
in other fields, and my main role has been to arbitrage them into the design
theory discourse.
I'll post the concepts as essays. The first is on 'Design outputs and design
outcomes'. It applies the standard conventions of social program logic
modelling to design theory, For those who might be interested, the essay can
be found at
http://www.love.com.au/index.php/25-design-outputs-and-design-outcomes
Mike Zender has asked that discussion of any of my papers not yet published
in peer-reviewed journals not occur on the phd-design list. For those who
are interested and wish to provide comment and feedback please email me
offlist.
Ken has claimed several times on and offlist that my design theories and
analyses are that of a crank. As a sometime engineering designer, I'll
accept that as a compliment.
For those who wish to make up their own minds either way, the upcoming
design concept essays and pre-prints of most of my other publications are
available at www.love.com.au <http://www.love.com.au>
Best wishes for the New Year,
Terry the Crank
