中文摘要:

      目的 讨论设计研究的必要性，厘清其术语内涵、研究领域、发展脉络和研究类型，思考其构建路径。方法 通过概念辨析，厘清设计研究的术语内涵：一是为特定设计项目进行信息拓展的实践研究；二是发展一般化、结构化设计知识体系的学术研究。进而将设计学术研究分为一般设计研究和特定领域设计研究。基于设计知识和知识生命周期，提出“以人为中心的设计知识生命周期”，强化实践、用户与研究之间的知识循环。从类型学角度概述设计研究的类型，重在阐述研究方法的选择。通过“设计信息框架研究”的案例，研究与思考“如何构建设计研究”这一问题。结论 设计研究中的学术研究，旨在研究发展设计知识的机制，并维持其知识生命周期，从而为设计实践提供可使用的知识平台。设计研究者需要更清晰自己知识创造的使命，并进行更深入、更有价值的设计学术研究。

英文摘要:

      The work aims to discuss the necessity of design research, clarify its term connotation, research fields and development process, summarize its types of research and reflect on its ways of construction. Through concept discrimi-nation, the term connotation of design research was clarified as the practice research of developing information for a par-ticular design project and the academic research of developing a generalized and structured body of design knowledge. Academic research on design in turn was divided into general design research and domain-specific design research. Based on design knowledge and knowledge lifecycle, the “knowledge lifecycle for human-centered design” was put forward, which intensified the knowledge cycle among practice, users and research. With emphasis on expounding the selection of research methods, the types of design research were summarized from the perspective of typology. The problem of “how to construct design research” was researched and considered through the case—“Research on Design Information Framework”. Academic research in design research aims at studying the mechanism of developing design knowledge and maintaining its knowledge lifecycle, thus providing an operational knowledge platform for design practice. Design researchers need to be clearer about their mission of knowledge creation and conduct more in-depth and valuable academic research on design.
