  3. Design related Study Preface by Rector Fokkema Within the range of a technical university the object of design – in terms of (urban) architecture and technique – is the design subject that is amongst all others most sensitive to context. The programme of requirements is not only derived from an economical and technical context, but also from contexts hailing from political, cultural, ecological en spatial considerations; on many levels of scale.

  6. Domains according to Van der Voordt

  7. Domains according De Jong

  8. art Imaginable design study Extending science empirical research

  9. Probable futures There are more and less probable futures

  10. Probability ±s = 68%, ± 2s = 95%, ± 3s = 99.7% chance

  11. Classical empirical research proposals to find truth or probability • problem statement (problem isolation) • clear aim • reference • starting points • hypothesis • variables • data • method • content • publish

  12. Empirical research or Design related study to find possibilities • Research produces probabilities by causes • Design produces possibilities by conditions

  13. Possible futures Anything probable is per definition possible but not everything possible is also probable. The probable future could be predicted. The improbable possibilities cannot be predicted. You only can explore them by design.

  14. Desirable futures Ir. Drs. Mr.

  15. Obvious and impossible futures

  16. Problems and aims

  17. Undesired, improbable possibilities Are they relevant as long as nobody wants them?

  18. Unexpected inventions Yes

  19. Changing desires

  20. Design related study • can not isolate problems from a coherent field of problems • brings aims together in a field of aims, a concept • has many references, not only written text but especially images: forms, types, models, concepts, programmes • has many starting points • has designs as hypothesis stating: “This will work” • has many context variables (“parameters”) • while the object still varies in your head • has many ways to study (in a book with 10 000 key words) • content grows drawing, calculating and writing • publishes with the medium as a message

  21. How to limitate, concentrate • give way to fascinations (motivated concentrations) • choose a scale (frame and grain) before an object • publish your portfolio evaluating it as field of abilities • decide to improve or to extend them in your proposal • publish images that fascinate you as a field of means • look at them as a professional: which concepts, types, models programmes could you harvest? • make your assumptions about the future explicit • imagine the impacts your study could have • cash your dreams

  22. Field of problems and aims • Problems: probable, but not desirable futures • Aims: desirable, but not probable futures

  23. Explicit future context • protects your study against judgements with other suppositions about the future context • raises the debate about the robustness of your study in different future contexts • makes your study comparable to other studies in comparable contexts • raises a ‘field of problems’ instead of an isolated ‘problem statement’ by subtracting desirable futures from the probable ones

  24. Explicit impacts within that context • indicate actors and specialists to join the team or take into account • imply a societal and personal relevance or fascination • imply a field of aims • imply actors willing to finance your study • could produce a programme of requirements • before you have a precise study proposal !
