Methodological thoughts: Phenomenology

Methodological thoughts: Phenomenology

Stephen, Awoniyi ;

Full paper:

In this paper, we take up the subject of (the complex task of) designing and the intentional march towards resolution of the design problem. There is an exploration which takes a designer to a design solution. One of the paths to that end passes through design research and insights that it provides. We examine the case of phenomenology as a research method and part of the process of coming-to of a design solution. Phenomenology necessarily considers the question of human experience (including the role of "objects of attention" in stimulating experience). We introduce phenomenology. We provide some operational frameworks. We summarize in a four-step rendition of the research process.
