Abstract This article opens discussion on the positivist epistemology underlying the understandings of materials in design research that have been brought along as a result of theory and methods inherited from engineering and psychology. Examining the ambitions of work that seeks to operationalize knowledge created by these methods in the design process, we propose that attending to the processuality of material forms is a more adequate way for design research to capture the multiplicity of materials. We develop this view by exploring the implications of the positivistic perspective that underlies recent work on new and smart materials, showing that it limits their theory and methods. This work, therefore, cannot grapple with the liveliness and fluidity of emergent cultural and material forms, and so cannot address the potential and future of emergent materialities. We conclude by arguing for the development of qualitative and ethnographic research methods that are better suited to exploring material processuality.

材料工艺性:设计研究的替代基础

摘要 本文开始讨论作为设计研究中材料理解基础的实证主义认识论,这些理论和方法是从工程学和心理学继承的理论和方法的结果。检查旨在将这些方法在设计过程中产生的知识操作化的工作目标,我们建议关注材料形式的过程性是设计研究捕捉材料多样性的更合适的方法。我们通过探索作为新智能材料最近工作基础的实证观点的含义来发展这一观点,表明它限制了他们的理论和方法。因此,这项工作无法应对新兴文化和物质形式的活力和流动性,因此无法解决新兴物质的潜力和未来。最后,我们主张发展更适合探索物质过程的定性和民族志研究方法。
