One of the foundations for change in our society comes from
designing. Its genesis is the notion that the world around us
either is unsuited to our needs or can be improved. The need for
designing is driven by a society's view that it can improve or add
value to human existence well beyond simple subsistence. As a
consequence of designing the world which we inhabit is increasingly
a designed rather than a naturally occurring one. In that sense it
is an "artificial" world. Designing is a fundamental precursor to
manufacturing, fabrication, construction or implementation. Design
research aims to develop an understanding of designing and to
produce models of designing that can be used to aid designing.
Artificial intelligence has provided an environmental paradigm
within which design research based on computational constructions,
can be carried out. Design research can be carried out in variety
of ways. It can be viewed as largely an empirical endeavour in
which experiments are designed and executed in order to test some
hypothesis about some design phenomenon or design behaviour. This
is the approach adopted in cognitive science. It often manifests
itself through the use of protocol studies of designers. The
results of such research form the basis of a computational model. A
second view is that design research can be carried out by positing
axioms and then deriving consequences from them.
