The book further elicits 'synergies from interdisciplinary perspectives' by discussing and elaborating on differing academic perspectives, theoretical backgrounds, and design concept definitions, and evaluating their unique contribution to a general core of design research.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is an exciting contribution to this little explored field, and offers a truly interdisciplinary approach to the treatment of design and the design process. It is valuable reading for students in disciplines such as design studies and theory, participatory design, informatics, arts based education, planning, sociology, and interdisciplinary programmes in humanities and technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jesper Simonsen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415572630\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415572637\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/16\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Jesper Simonsen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064934936831,"sku":"9780415572637","price":240.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5f88c51e-df81-41f6-bd0c-e13a521a60c5.jpg?v=1768672025","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/design-research-jesper-simonsen-9780415572637","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
