à quoi sert la recherche en design ?

Voici un autre article sur le sujet, plus développé et très intéressant.
(via l'International Design Journal - merci Irazú)

“Growing research and research programs in design, therefore, is a
necessary but complicated task. It is obvious that the proprietary
behavior of design practitioners will not make new knowledge
widely available and that universities must take on the roles of
knowledge generation and dissemination. At the same time, it
is also clear that development in this area will be slow without
broader recognition that research matters to the future of the
design professions and that the outcomes of design decisions have
consequences in society.”
