He called to unify and bound design research to solve these problems. While agreeing with his critiques and appreciating his good intentions, I will argue that his call is impractical as well as undesirable due to the social circumstances and the nature of design inquiry and the changing academic research practice which tend towards inter/transdisciplinarity. Efforts should rather be directed to join fragmented design research in an evolving and inclusive manner to establish a dynamically connected discipline.

In place of unified and bounded, I suggest connected to be a more viable concept to think about disciplinary research in design. Here in Part 2, I make some suggestions to start making of a connected discipline.

Materialverarbeitung und handwerkliches Wissen im antiken Bauwesen : Internationales Kolloquium in Berlin vom 13.-16. Mai 2015 veranstaltet vom Architekturreferat des DAI im Henry-Ford-Bau der Freien Universität Berlin N2 - Handwerkliche Prozesse zur Gewinnung, Herstellung, Aufbereitung und Verarbeitung von Baumaterialien hinterlassen an jedem gebauten Werk ihre Spuren. Für den Bauforscher sind diese eine maßgebliche – oftmals sogar die einzige - Quelle zur Rekonstruktion der angewandten Bautechniken sowie des Material-, Transport- und Bearbeitungsweges bis zur Baustelle. Sie erlauben das Nachvollziehen von Bauabläufen und der erforderlichen Baulogistik. Da auch in der Antike eine reibungslos funktionierende Baustelle in hohem Maße von der sozialen Organisation des Bauwesens abhing, ermöglicht die Rekonstruktion von Bauweisen und Bauabläufen ebenso das dahinter stehende Wissen und die soziale Struktur zu analysieren. Wird das antike Bauwesen als ein hochgradig komplexer und vernetzter Prozess verstanden, dann kann seine Entschlüsselung dazu beitragen, Fragen nach der jeweiligen Verteilung von Arbeit und Kompetenz, nach der sozialen Organisation einer Baustelle und dem Einfluss von Mobilität der Bauleute auf die Verbreitung und Transformation von Bauwissen zu beantworten. Innovative Verarbeitungsmethoden und die Rolle von Materialökonomie geben ferner Hinweise auf das jeweilige Technik-, Natur- und Raumverständnis. Ziel der 12. Archäologischen Diskussionen zur Bauforschung war es daher, neben den rein technischen Aspekten des Wissens um Materialeigenschaften und den Fragen nach der Logistik, auch die Tradierungsprozesse von konstruktiv-operativem Bauwissen in der Antike zu diskutieren.

As this nascent field progresses, unresolved conceptual and practical methodological challenges continue to surface. It is time for MTHD researchers to critically revisit underlying assumptions, concepts and processes that shape their work. This one-day workshop invites the DIS community to engage in two key areas: a critical discussion on anthropocentrism, a core yet multifaceted concept in MTHD, and the presentation of practical work that either reveals paradoxes within MTHD – concerning how to decenter humans and how to engage with more-than-human actors – or explores constructive ways to navigate these paradoxes. Through mapping and discussing the challenges, we aim to identify patterns and shared concerns. The workshop will culminate in an open-ended Archive of Tensions, accessible via the workshop website, serving as a collective resource for ongoing reflection and inquiry. Furthermore, the Archive will be presented in an online event and the results will be published as an article.
