The Routledge Companion to Design Research, 2nd Edition, presents a broad examination of theoretical foundations, research methodologies, and analytical practices in contemporary design. Edited by Paul A. Rodgers and Joyce Yee, this volume offers structured guidance for researchers, educators, postgraduate students, doctoral candidates, and post-doctoral scholars across design-related academic disciplines.
The volume synthesizes core thematic developments across the field, evaluating the fundamental nature and purpose of design research while detailing techniques for data collection, creative tool deployment, and research dissemination. Content addresses multiple specialized domains, including industrial and product design, visual communication, interaction design, fashion design, service design, engineering, and architecture.
Organized into four distinct sections, the text contains thirty-eight original chapters by global contributors, supported by 151 black-and-white illustrations. It incorporates critical discussions on decolonizing design research, inclusive design practices, cybernetic models, action research approaches, and social design research, making it a functional reference for doctoral studies and advanced academic inquiry.
