You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 100.24.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Design research''' was originally constituted as primarily research into the process of design, developing from work in [[design methods]], but the concept has been expanded to include research embedded within the process of design, including work concerned with the context of designing and research-based design practice. The concept retains a sense of generality, aimed at understanding and improving design processes and practices quite broadly, rather than developing domain-specific knowledge within any professional field of design.

== Origins ==

Design research emerged as a recognisable field of study in the 1960s, initially marked by a conference on [[Design methods]]<ref>Jones, J C and D G Thornley (eds) (1963) Conference on Design Methods, Oxford, UK: Pergamon Press</ref> at [[Imperial College London]], in 1962. It led to the founding of the [[Design Research Society]] (DRS) in 1966. [[John Christopher Jones]] (one of the initiators of the 1962 conference) founded a postgraduate Design Research Laboratory at the [[University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology]], and [[L. Bruce Archer]] supported by [[Misha Black]] founded the postgraduate Department of Design Research at the [[Royal College of Art]], London, becoming the first Professor of Design Research.<ref>DRS2016 Online Exhibition http://www.drs2016.org/exhibition/#ddr1</ref>

The Design Research Society has always stated its aim as: ‘to promote the study of and research into the process of [[design]]ing in all its many fields’. Its purpose therefore is to act as a form of [[Learned|learned society]], taking a scholarly and domain independent view of the process of designing.

Some of the origins of design methods and design research lay in the emergence after the 2nd World War of [[Operations research|operational research]] methods and management decision-making techniques, the development of creativity techniques in the 1950s, and the beginnings of computer programs for problem solving in the 1960s. A statement by Bruce Archer<ref>((cite book

 |author-link= L. Bruce Archer
 |title = Systematic Method for Designers
 |year = 1965 
 |publisher = Council of Industrial Design |location = London
 |oclc = 2108433
 ))</ref> encapsulated what was going on: ‘The most fundamental challenge to conventional ideas on design has been the growing advocacy of systematic methods of problem solving, borrowed from computer techniques and management theory, for the assessment of design problems and the development of design solutions.’ [[Herbert A. Simon]]<ref>((cite book
 |last = Simon

 |oclc = 4087
 ))</ref> established the foundations for ‘a [[Design science|science of design]]’, which would be ‘a body of intellectually tough, analytic, partly formalizable, partly empirical, teachable doctrine about the design process.’

==Early work==
((more citations needed|section|date=March 2019))
Early work was mainly within the domains of [[architecture]] and [[industrial design]], but research in engineering design developed strongly in the 1980s; for example, through ICED&mdash;the series of International Conferences on Engineering Design, now run by The Design Society. These developments were especially strong in Germany and Japan. In the USA there were also some important developments in design theory and methodology, including the publications of the Design Methods Group and the series of conferences of the [[Environmental Design Research Association]]. The [[National Science Foundation]] initiative on design theory and methods led to substantial growth in engineering design research in the late-1980s. A particularly significant development was the emergence of the first journals of design research. DRS initiated [http://www.elsevier.com/locate/destud ''Design Studies''] in 1979, ''[[Design Issues]]'' appeared in 1984, and ''Research in Engineering Design'' in 1989.

== Development ==

The development of design research has led to the establishment of design as a coherent discipline of study in its own right, based on the view that design has its own things to know and its own ways of knowing them. Bruce Archer again encapsulated the view in stating his new belief that ‘there exists a designerly way of thinking and communicating that is both different from scientific and scholarly ways of thinking and communicating, and as powerful as scientific and scholarly methods of enquiry when applied to its own kinds of problems’.<ref>((cite journal
 |last = Archer
 |first = Leonard Bruce
 |year = 1979 |title = Whatever Became of Design Methodology?

 |pages = 17–20
 |doi = 10.1016/0142-694X(79)90023-1
 |issn = 0142-694X
 ))
</ref> This view was developed further in a series of papers by [[Nigel Cross]], collected as a book on 'Designerly Ways of Knowing'.<ref>((cite book
 |last = Cross
 |first = Nigel
 |title = Designerly ways of knowing
 |year = 2006

 |publisher = Birkhäuser |location = Basel [u.a.]
 |isbn = 978-3-7643-8484-5
 |oclc = 255922654
 ))</ref> 
Significantly, [[Donald Schön]]<ref>((cite book
 |last = Schön
 |first = Donald Schön
 |author-link = Donald Schön
 |title =  The reflective practitioner: How professionals think in action
 |year = 1983 
 |publisher = Basic Books
 |location = New York
 |isbn = 978-0-465-06874-6
 |oclc = 8709452
 ))</ref> promoted the new view within his book The Reflective Practitioner, in which he challenged the technical rationality of Simon and sought to establish ‘an epistemology of practice implicit in the artistic, intuitive processes which [design and other] practitioners bring to situations of uncertainty, instability, uniqueness and value conflict’.

Design research ‘came of age’ in the 1980s, and has continued to expand. This was helped by the development of a research base, including doctoral programmes, within many of the design schools located within new institutions that were previously art colleges, and the emergence of new areas such as interaction design. More new journals have appeared, such as ''The Design Journal'', the'' Journal of Design Research'', ''CoDesign'' and more recently ''Design Science''. There has also been a major growth in conferences, with not only a continuing series by DRS, but also series such as Design Thinking, Doctoral Education in Design, Design Computing and Cognition, Design and Emotion, the European Academy, the Asian Design Conferences, etc. Design research now operates on an international scale, acknowledged in the cooperation of DRS with the Asian design research societies in the founding in 2005 of the International Association of Societies of Design Research.
