life IS research. I prefer the artist view; but, I also understand where Nigan is coming from.
If you wanted to pass Nigans class with a higher grade you would memorize and respond: Research is: Experiential, Qualitative, Quantitive, Speculative, Experiential, Performative, Discovery-Led, Formal, & Procedural. If you wanted to pass Frayling's class with a higher grade you would come up with a more exotic view that brought the world into focus for a split second. Maybe recite Kansas's dust in the wind. Average grade make up your own way and challenge their research. Do we have to pick sides? A winner? A loser? Can't they both be right and you favor one more than the other just because it reminds you of something special or one is more effective under different circumstances. Research is research, investigate systematically ... Yes, of course you can have a good design without research. I think those are the best designs. I'm not negating research I just find things that emerge without over thinking are more interesting. Phenomenon... What chess games make a better winner ones that are played with time limits or ones that you can think about your move for as long as you'd like?
