A good reference that looks at design as research and other approaches
is:

Subject:Re: Research through design
Dear Ken,
You are right, Zimmerman et al. (2010) are optimistic about the
future of research through design. They also briefly report a couple
of examples of high-quality RtD. However, the diagnosis is that the
approach is still weak, and I don’t see a much change on that.
Regarding the UK report that David cites, it seems impressive. I
wonder what are the criteria to measure the research outputs.
What is missing is a good textbook or several about design research
methodology. You have mentioned that we could use some books and
references from other disciplines, but we need our own books. Now I
imagine that practice-based research supervisors are taking too many
different directions. I hope Muratovski’s book start to fill this
gap. I would love to read it as soon as possible.
Thanks.
