Discusses four central themes in contemporary discourse on design research: design practice versus design research, borrowing versus stealing theories from other disciplines, discipline versus indiscipline, and communication in text form versus artifacts. Comparing different expert positions, this volume explains the full scope of controversy. Editor(s): Joost, Gesche; Bredies, Katharina; Christensen, Michelle; Conradi, Florian; Unteidig, Andreas. Series: Board of International Research in Design. Num Pages: 240 pages, 23 black & white line drawings, 23 schw.-w. Zeichn. BIC Classification: AK. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational.
