May 3rd: Timothy Cooke presents and moderates: Designer as Researcher: what role can aesthetic investigation play in technical innovation?
If we accept there’s a “designerly way of knowing” separate, and inherently different from scientific or scholarly knowledge, as claimed by proponents of design research, what happens when designers engage in a practice grounded in scientific study? A diverse panel, comprised of various stakeholders in the field, will interrogate this question in an effort to probe the murky language of research that has come to saturate the world of design.
