Hi members of the list:
I am struggling over the nature of design knowledge and would like to get
some help.
I have learned that the epistemological traditions of the (social) sciences
can roughly be categorized as Objectivism, Subjectivism, and Constructionism.
May I say that the scientific view on the world is that it is knowable
through either discovery, invention or construction?
Now, my question is if design is different from science in that design
operates in the space of 'can be' - something that is still to be happened,
how can design knowledge be known and can it be known?
Sincerely yours
Rosan
