Heidegger & Schön

Which came first, an understanding of the situation for design or the situation of design to be understood?

Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

Schön

Reflective Practice - Dialogue with prior knowledge of phenomenon that doesn’t meet expectations.

  • Mistakes are preconditions for reflection
  • Objects must be removed from context in order to reflect upon them
  • Technological equipment can be altered and reflected upon, but it is merely an objectification of practitioner’s own reflection
  • Knowledge-in-action comes from reflection-in-action; this is very scientific (trial and error)
  • Focuses on ‘present-at-hand’ situations

Reflective Practice

Circumspection

Heidegger

Circumspection… looking around

  • If we take Heidegger’s point, for designers to understand practice they need to first participate and see how things are done in context as a precursor to learning in practice
  • Know how of design is embedded in social practice and the use of equipment
  • Let things be by understanding how equipment works together and how equipment is used to tackle various projects
  • Understanding does not result from instruction, but from the use of the equipment
  • Breakdowns change our way of being in the world, not merely the way we reflect
