Abstract
Interiors constantly change through inhabitation. As such, interior designers value a person's post-project agency as much as a participatory design agency. We must not only be comfortable with this ambiguity but embrace subjectivity within social-cultural contexts as the material with which we operate. This way of knowing, that the process is the product, has not always been the norm in built environment disciplines that primarily concern themselves with form. A simple case is presented to demonstrate the complexity of time, space, and context that impact a typical design project and reflections of the role of designers in the process. The process and reflection demonstrate a human-oriented rather than object-oriented worldview that accommodates flexibility for unpredictability inherent in interior design practice.
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.
