ABSTRACT This is an invited paper reviewing my personal design research history, covering 50 years of involvement since the mid-1960s. The focus of my research has shifted over time, from computer-aided design and design methodology to design epistemology and design cognition. In CAD I assessed its effectiveness and implications for design professions, and how AI research in design might inform understanding of design cognition. In design methodology, I developed a model that integrates procedural aspects of design process with structural aspects of design problems. In design epistemology, I developed concepts of designerly ways of knowing and design as a discipline. In design cognition, I conducted protocol studies of design activity and studied design expertise, and developed the concept of the co-evolution of problem and solution. A general progression in the work has been from aiding and supporting design practice towards more fundamental understanding of design as a discipline.

将设计发展为一门学科

摘要 这是一篇回顾我个人设计研究历史的受邀论文，涵盖了自 1960 年代中期以来的 50 年参与。随着时间的推移，我的研究重点已经从计算机辅助设计和设计方法转移到设计认识论和设计认知。在 CAD 中，我评估了它对设计专业的有效性和影响，以及设计中的 AI 研究如何影响对设计认知的理解。在设计方法论中，我开发了一个模型，该模型将设计过程的程序方面与设计问题的结构方面相结合。在设计认识论中，我开发了设计方式的认识和设计作为一门学科的概念。在设计认知方面，我对设计活动进行了协议研究，研究了设计专业知识，并提出了问题和解决方案共同进化的概念。
