- Title
Investigación: un nodo teorético del diseño.
- Authors
Horta Mesa, Aurelio A.
- Abstract
The theoretical nucleus or node of design is centered in the understanding of research not only as an external or capricious activity to design itself but in its inherence in the essence of the evolving act it represents. In short, research in design supposes a double interpretation: that part of the very nature of its practice whose threshold is represented in the seminal idea of appointing something and the conventional idea of intervening from/on the act of designing or the product to critically react about some of its meanings in the culture of its time. Both senses express in the cognitive plot of its episteme describing the nonlinearity of its thought as well as the transcendence of its field of knowledge and diversity of practices. Research on design itself, on the other hand, and independently of its ends, claims a clear initial position about the definition of a historical stay from which the researcher is located and, as a consequence, of the pertinent selection of a theoretical instrumental niche convergent with the object of the study in question.
