Hi list,
Thanks for all the comments and really valuable feedback. I will briefly go
through the comments with a minimal reply (for now).
*Gunnar*: thanks, really interesting and fun text. And highly relevant!
*Luke*: thanks, I will take a closer look at your work, it deserves a
closer reading.
*Terence*: yes, design argument and design rationale is often the same
thing (I think). Design rationale has also been explored and developed in
my field of HCI design, by among other Jack Carroll. I do think that design
rationale has often meant the idea that it is possible to capture the
design process in such a way the result becomes a clear and rational
explanation of the final design. That approach has not really been
successful and used in practice.
*David*: thanks and I am interested in the publications you refer to.
*Diane*: thanks, and I think you describe well the true meaning of being
human centered in design. But even at the end of such an approach, there is
a design (of some kind) that needs to be presented and potentially
explained. It is that presentation and explanation that I refer to as
design argument.
*Mauricio*: thanks, and yes, there are many forms of design and a wonderful
diversity when it comes to who is a designer, but what I refer to, I think,
is relevant no matter who the designer is (trained or not, 'real designer'
or not). I agree that the notion of sense-making (as for instance Klaus
Krippendorff defines it) is a big part of this.
*Rebecca*: thanks, staying online :-)
More comments are highly welcome.
And have a nice weekend!
Best
Erik
