What is Design Research?

Why Research?

LMU München – Medieninformatik – Alexander Wiethoff + Andreas Butz - Interaction Design - SS 2011 13

What is Design Research?

1. Design Research = Research for Design

2. Design Research = Research about Design

3. Design Research = Research through Design

LMU München – Medieninformatik – Alexander Wiethoff + Andreas Butz - Interaction Design - SS 2011 14

What is Design Research?

1. Research for Design

LMU München – Medieninformatik – Alexander Wiethoff + Andreas Butz - Interaction Design - SS 2011 16

Yahoo! Design Research – Intern

Primary responsibilities include:− Assisting with, or conducting independently, an exploratory user  experience research project that helps to inform and inspire a rich understanding of key product experiences.

− Synthesizing insights from qualitative research.−Developing presentations and or workshops to share findings with  stakeholders

− Working collaboratively with designers, product, marketing and other researchers

− Conducting research as part of a collaborative team, seeking feedback and information from other researchers and stakeholders.

2. Research about Design

LMU München – Medieninformatik – Alexander Wiethoff + Andreas Butz - Interaction Design - SS 2011 18

LMU München – Medieninformatik – Alexander Wiethoff + Andreas Butz - Interaction Design - SS 2011 19

What is Design Research?

3. Research through Design

Develop hypotheses about the DESIGN throughdesign.

Design as a way to ask meaningful questionsabout design.

Identifying design opportunities throughdesigning.

Conclusion

•Design research methods vary depending on what you want to know.What you want toknow depends on where you are in the design process.

•More open methods (less structuring) comeearly in the process

•More specific methods (more structuring) comelater in the process.

Example Project

Industrial Computers in LogisticsCurrent obstacles and future business opportunities

Briefing• 6 field visits, own recruitment• 1 expert interview – moderation between client and industry partner• client joins for field visits• interviews• observastions• workshops in the field/ event‐style idea testing• brainstorming and body storming• report hand‐in after 4 weeks

SummaryDesign Research –Ethnographic Methods for designing interactive Systems

− The design researcher as project manager – mediating and moderatingbetween design stakeholders

− Use of audio and visual media – as ‚window to the other side‘ (designer/ user)

− ‚Event'‐style− Use of materials and tools that allow non‐designers to participate in concept development

−Workshops with instructions and formats that ‚force‘ stakeholders to takeproject‐ownership
