This compelling new volume addresses the inter-relationship, in both historical and contemporary contexts, between design and scientific research and practice.
This compelling new volume addresses the inter-relationship, in both historical and contemporary contexts, between design and scientific research and practice.
Design and Science addresses the inter-relationship, in both historical and contemporary contexts, between design thinking and design processes and scientific and medical research methods.
Contributors address the parallels between research methodologies in design and the sciences, both of which involve the recognition of an issue, conceptualisation of ways to resolve it, and then the modelling and implementation of a viable solution. Much research across various scientific disciplines follows a similar pattern.
Thematic sections explore visualisation, visual narrative and visual metaphor; biodesign and biomimicry; makers and users in design and science, and data visualisation, discussing the role of data from nature as an ultimate source of design.
