Eine autoritative und kommentierte Auswahl der wesentlichen Texte, welche für die Orientierung in der Designforschung grundlegend sind.
Gewisse charismatische Namen tauchen im Diskurs zwar immer wieder auf, der Community fehlte es aber an einem verbindlichen, wissenschaftlich abgesicherten und doch leserfreundlichen Arbeitsbuch. Grand und Jonas haben diese Lücke nun gefüllt. Die Sammlung von 18 internationalen Texten seit 1960 spiegelt die maßgebenden Etappen der Designforschung und der Wissenschaftsforschung wider. Umfangreiche Essays der Herausgeber verorten und erläutern die Texte und verhelfen zu ihrem adäquaten Verständnis.

An authoritative and scientifically based collection of 18 international texts since 1960 that mirrors and analyses the principal developmental phases of design research and scientific research.The importance of the focus on pivotal texts for the design research cannot be overstated. However, while certain charismatic names come up in the discussion, the community has thus far lacked a handbook that is straightforward and accessible. Grand and Jonas have now filled this gap. Compiled on the basis of a deep and extensive knowledge of the field, their essays situate and elucidate these exciting texts and aid readers in understanding them.
