Beskrivelse
PhD course:This course takes point of departure in the 2020 Krogh & Koskinen book “Drifting by Intention – Four Epistemic Traditions from within Constructive Design Research”. It is the claim of the book that designers drift, design research drift and so do most other research disciplines. In the context of the book, drifting simply means those actions that take design away from its original brief or question, and lead somewhere else. This process can sometimes lead to surprising results, but it does not have to. It is in and through these drifts that knowledge in constructive design research emerge. The modesty and mundaneness of the notion of drifting is also counter to the other (often misleading) dramatic rhetoric’s of blue-sky thinking, radical innovations, disruptive innovations, counterintuitive findings, and so forth, often found in design research literature. It may be that constructive design research delivers such break-throughs, but these heroic moments are rare, and as the book argues, it should not be turned into a standard expectation or a norm. The book and the course take on drifting is epistemological. The underlying argument is that how drifting happens depends on how designers understand knowledge they produce: where is its location, what acts create it, how binding it is supposed to be, and ultimately, what drives knowledge creation?
