The design process

For those interested I have posted my recently completed doctoral thesis at:
http://idisk.mac.com/designarena-Public/

Feel free to download, print and share the thesis.

The thesis describes a reconceptualisation of the design process and fine grain analyses of the "how" of design students' practice.
The concept emerged from analyses of a series of situated, studio experiments, working with design and design engineering students here in Denmark and in the USA.
An interventionist and hermeneutic phenomenological approach was adopted throughout to investigate just how design students engage their design practice.

The download interface is not that intuitive, so to download the files there is a small arrow to the far right of each file title.
This is the download button and not the file title itself.
An extra detail is that if your operating system is Windows then you should be using Explorer 6 or later or Firefox 1.0.4 or later.

If you wish to print copies from the download feel free to do so - the printing instructions are on p.5 (and as a pdf on the download site) as are costs if you wish to order hard copies from me at Dkk 550 / € 74 / US dollars 100 (non-profit) + postage.
