Abduction to Argument: A Framework of Design Thinking

Abduction to Argument: A Framework of Design Thinking <p>This paper presents a constructivist framework for design thinking based on the recognition that there are different kinds of generative propositions. five different “What if . . . ?” questions are identified. It is offered that subsequent design development occurs in two ways. first, intensive development seeks an increasingly precise understanding of a proposed change by refining the generative proposition with respect to the initial “What if . . . ?” question. Second, extensive development seeks an increasingly comprehensive understanding of a proposed change by applying, adapting, and adjusting the generative proposition with respect to the other “What if . . . ?” questions. It is suggested that when both kinds of design development are performed successfully, the generative proposition <i>of</i> change becomes a reasoned argument <i>for</i> change.</p> http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Landscape Journal: design, planning, and management of the land University of Wisconsin Press

Abstract

<p>This paper presents a constructivist framework for design thinking based on the recognition that there are different kinds of generative propositions. five different “What if . . . ?” questions are identified. It is offered that subsequent design development occurs in two ways. first, intensive development seeks an increasingly precise understanding of a proposed change by refining the generative proposition with respect to the initial “What if . . . ?” question. Second, extensive development seeks an increasingly comprehensive understanding of a proposed change by applying, adapting, and adjusting the generative proposition with respect to the other “What if . . . ?” questions. It is suggested that when both kinds of design development are performed successfully, the generative proposition <i>of</i> change becomes a reasoned argument <i>for</i> change.</p>
