The more complex a human action is, the greater the need to
formulate a plan of action, devise a method of implementation, and
evaluate its execution. Such preparation is called design or
planning, and can be defined as a conceptual preparation for
action. Design and planning by themselves are so complex and
important that they need informed preparation, which calls for
systematic designological studies. This volume brings together
original contributions of researchers and practitioners in design
theory, design research, and design studies. Its main purpose is to
highlight the possibilities of the discipline of designology. Doing
and thinking, or thinking and doing, whatever the order, are
intertwined. That is why praxiology, the science of action, defines
design as a conceptual preparation of action. Included here are
contributions from Jack Brzezinski, Eduardo Corte-Real, Nigel
Cross, Michel Faucheux, Joelle Forest, Wojciech W. Gasparski,
Ioannes B. Kapelouzos, Thorbjoern Mann, Tom Maver, Tarkko Oksala,
Tufan Orel, Sevil Saryldz, and Ladislav Tondl. Designology is the
latest volume in Transaction's highly regarded Praxiology series.
