Hello list members
The main question I was wrestling with these days was about the current
research trends in Design Research, mostly those research domains which are
being done in Ph.D. or Post doctorates.
About current resources for this question there was an interesting book
published by Board of International Researchers in Design ,BIRD, entitled
DESIGN RESEARCH NOW, which put had some examples from TU Delft, TU
Eindhoven, University of Art and Design in Finland and Politecnico di Milano.
However, there are many fields such as affordance based design or mass
customization are not included in that book.
The value of this research would be that we could find out in which area are
we walking or who is with us as well. Moreover it could give us common areas
of research with other disciplines , therefore there would be more
opportunities for publishing.
I hope we could reach a tangible result out of this.
Best wishes
Alireza
