It is at moments like this, that I wonder why nobody ever seems to
use a term like 'research-based (or -led) design'. This might
connote an area of design where the design project is constructed
specifically as systematic investigative practice, with the intention
of producing research results. It might also come to mean design
that is evidence based, or otherwise based upon the results of research.
This seems preferable to the often confusing terms which seem to
privilege design over research.
Rosan, any thoughts?
