This article by Kaja Tooming Buchanan looks at creative design practice and critical reflection as a form of productive inquiry within design research. It is part of the design theory literature on how designers generate knowledge through practice rather than through conventional scientific method alone.
"Creative Practice and Critical Reflection: Productive Science in Design Research" was written by Kaja Tooming Buchanan, a design theory scholar whose work focuses on the social role of design, how it shapes meaning and experience in human interaction and services. The article, published in the journal Design Issues, addresses how creative design practice combined with critical reflection can function as a legitimate, productive form of inquiry within design research, situating practice-based design work alongside more conventional research methods.
