This text addresses major issue in design theory.
It brings together social, environmental, ethical and technical factors into
a single unified coherent body of theory. The book identifies weaknesses in
the design theory literature - many of which have over time become institutionalised
and 'hidden' whilst in public view. The book then explores and identifies
theory frames and core conceptual structures needed to resolve these problems.
In undertaking this study, a meta-theoretical taxonomy is developed that provides
a comprehensive basis for cataloguing the large number of different design
theory elements found in the design literature, along with their relationships.
From these analyses emerges a coherent theoretical framework that integrates
technical, human and environmental aspects of design activity. The book contains
two large appendices. The first provides a extensive review of engineering
design literature from the 1950s to the late 90s. The second appendix outlines
an taxonomy of different sub-fields of engineering design. |

Dr.
Terence Love is a Curtin Research Fellow in the Dept of Design at Curtin
University in Western Australia where he is the research director of the
Design-focused Research Group. Terence is proprietor of Love Design and
Research and Praxis Education. He has written over 100 publications on design-related
topics. His design and design research background is broad-based, ranging
from engineering design to community-focused design. Recent research topics
have focused on: improving Australia’s design infrastructure to enhance
economic and social development and innovation outcomes; design principles
for planning coastal suburbs in areas of beach erosion; mapping the scope
of design fields; developing a coherent and multidisciplinary theoretical
foundation for design theory; the designing of management information systems;
the roles that feelings and emotions play in designing; the designing online
education systems, and improving planning for Youth Services in Australia
to 2015. Terence has a PhD in Engineering Design from the University of
Western Australia and a B.A. (Hons) in Engineering from Lancaster, UK. |
