| Syllabus: |
The primary focus of this unit is on identifying ands analysing the currency, significance and context of design research. Meeting "client and end user" needs is a maxim in design practice, in scholarly design research "identifying a research problem andexplaining the significance of the research" are essential criteria whose needs must be met. Using multiple forms of media inquiry, students will identify, follow and discuss current design research issues, developments and factors influencing them. There are many factors that can give rise to the need for design research including political, technological, economic and social changes. Research priorities are neither static nor independent of a socio-cultural context - these dynamic factors also affect how the design research community, as well as the wider community, prioritises research issue. |
