摘要：AbstractBloomsbury Publishing describesPractice-Based Design Researchas “a companion to master’s and PhD programs in design research through practice.” But the companionship offered is one where many conflicting perspectives, presented as replicable methods, are uncomfortably woven into a tradition that has often found its strength in isolated moments of genius. This volume includes chapters that move design toward the synthesis of theory and artifact. Even so, core claims fall short on many points, especially when authors rush to find solutions without support from evidence. These inconsistencies seem to reflect external demands, which the authors suggest are not impossible to overcome.Highlights●Despite some progress establishing the notion of practice-based design as a discipline, this volume does not establish a satisfactory paradigm.●The strongest chapters encourage exploration within a journey of discovery that has yet to find its destination.●Certain claims in the work fall short. The authors concerned should reexamine assumptions as well as conclusions.●We compare chapters that suggest where design could effectively go as a discipline against chapters that focus on quick action despite problems.●We argue for a conversation focused less on taking sides and more on impartial study in a research area of great value.
