Sommario/riassunto

Design Research is an area that is both current and growing, but texts on the subjects are in short supply. This book is a response to the vitality of discussion within journals and at conferences, and it intends to place Design Research in its rightful place at the heart of studio-based education and practice. Offering a valuable context within which to understand the educational needs and aspirations of the designer,



Becoming Designers is also a vital resource for students in this field, whose access to books on the subject is currently very limited.
