Creation of artifacts as a vehicle for design research
conference contribution
posted on 2011-07-11, 11:44 authored by Nithikul NimkulratAlthough material artifacts, with their forms and
meanings, have manifested the significance of craft
design practice, their role and the role of their
creative productions in design research have rarely
been discussed. This paper aims to uncover how
the creation of artifacts can serve as a vehicle of
design research. My doctoral research, which
explores the relationship between a physical
material and artistic expression in the creation of
textile art and design, is given as the example. The
research emphasizes the utilization of the
researcher’s design artifacts and their productions
as a vehicle of theoretical inquiry. The study offers
the conception of materialness, which is the
potential of a physical material to express
meanings through its physicality to the designer
and audience.
