Design Research Approach Field 1: Engagement
Field 2: Challenges
3. Practice/Action: Although
3. Experimental: The value
field-work is an integral aspect of research, our approach looks to interpret it as an attempt at practice and action. This stage can be expanded as an articulating phase, where the conceptual and the practical begin shaping. The essential component, though, is to develop the skill of engagement, avoiding stasis and taking part in the myriad movements that nurture research activity, be them spatial transformation, social dynamics or abstract interpretations.
of experience is enhanced when it leaps from causality into actual agency, the capability of becoming transformative along its process. At the same time, advocating an experimental quality refers to the value of creativity and imagination as integral to research practice and design.
4. (Re)presentation: Greater
4. Sensorial: Design is visual,
challenges arrive the moment our bank of knowledge is ready for processing and interpreting. The toolkit’s perspective builds on the notion that information is highly volatile and extremely sensitive, and its production should be consciously developed according to an open, situated narrative, where data, texts and visuals are integral to the construction of knowledge, even if it contains biases and alignments.
it possesses soundscapes, it can be recorder, it allows for conversation and alternatives recordings of stories, situations and agendas. Researches must be able to express findings in supporting mediums, adapting to the places of ‘performance’ or discussion and designing the information accordingly.
