Constructive design research, is an exploratory endeavor building
exemplars, arguments, and evidence. In this monograph, it is shown
how acts of designing builds relevance and articulates knowledge in
combination. Using design acts to build new knowledge, invite
reframing of questions and new perceptions to build up. Respecting
the emergence of new knowledge in the process invite change of
cause and action. The authors' term for this change is drifting;
designers drift; and they drift intentionally, knowing what they
do. The book details how drifting is a methodic practice of its own
and provides examples of how and where it happens. This volume
explores how to do it effectively, and how it depends on the
concept of knowledge. The authors identify four epistemic
traditions in constructive design research. By introducing a
Knowledge/Relevance model they clarify how design experiments
create knowledge and what kinds of challenges and contributions
designers face when drifting. Along the lines of experimental
design work the authors identify five main ways in which
constructive experiments drift. Only one of them borrows its
practices from experimental science, others build on precedents
including arts and craft practices. As the book reveals,
constructive design research builds on a rich body of research that
finds its origins in some of the most important intellectual
movements of 20th century. This background further expands
constructive design research from a scientific model towards a more
welcoming understanding of research and knowledge. This monograph
provides novel actionable models for steering and navigating
processes of constructive design research. It helps skill the
design researcher in participating in the general language games of
research and helps the design researcher build research relations
beyond the discipline.
