Abstract

Designers face challenges stemming from the complexity and uncertainty in sustainable design. Drawing from the theoretical perspectives of dialectics and design process, we argue that a dialectical process of framing design issues and approaching design challenges can be an important but less explored element in the process of designing sustainable products. In the research setting of designers from five new sustainable design ventures, we explicated three sets of dialectics across the dimensions of social value, temporality, and development space. We further identified different synthesis strategies employed by participating designers for resolving design challenges. On the basis of empirical findings, we propose a framework for dialectical thinking and synthesis modes. We argue that the conceptual prompts provided by the proposed models can help designers articulate the process of problem framing and explore the various recombination and possibilities that emerge during synthesis.

可持续产品设计中的社会价值、时间视角与发展空间:辩证法视角
设计师面临着来自可持续设计的复杂性和不确定性的挑战。从辩证法和设计过程的理论角度出发,我们认为,在设计可持续产品的过程中,构建设计问题和接近设计挑战的辩证过程可能是一个重要但较少探索的因素。我们以五家新型可持续设计企业的设计师为研究对象,在社会价值、时间性和发展空间三个维度上阐述了三套辩证法。我们进一步确定了参与设计的设计师为解决设计挑战所采用的不同综合策略。在实证研究的基础上,我们提出了辩证思维框架和综合模式。我们认为,所提出的模型提供的概念性提示可以帮助设计师阐明问题框架的过程,并探索在综合过程中出现的各种重组和可能性。

期刊介绍: Design Studies is a leading international academic journal focused on developing understanding of design processes. It studies design activity across all domains of application, including engineering and product design, architectural and urban design, computer artefacts and systems design. It therefore provides an interdisciplinary forum for the analysis, development and discussion of fundamental aspects of design activity, from cognition and methodology to values and philosophy. Design Studies publishes work that is concerned with the process of designing, and is relevant to a broad audience of researchers, teachers and practitioners. We welcome original, scientific and scholarly research papers reporting studies concerned with the process of designing in all its many fields, or furthering the development and application of new knowledge relating to design process. Papers should be written to be intelligible and pertinent to a wide range of readership across different design domains. To be relevant for this journal, a paper has to offer something that gives new insight into or knowledge about the design process, or assists new development of the processes of designing.
