Hi all
I was recently at a one day conference on inter-disciplinary research
where a group of geographers and environmental researchers gave a
definition of interdisciplinary research (which incidentally they
arrived at after brainstorming sessions). Their definition was this:
"It is eclectic and integrative. It uses different disciplines to solve
complex problems. It is holistic, fluid and adaptable."
What an excellent definition of design research!!
