Knowledge Base Repository
In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters. Please note that these resources are accessible exclusively to Design Society members.

Abstract:
This paper sketches three mechanisms for dealing with poetic knowledge in art and architecture. These are identified in the reflection on transdisciplinary action in the context of the ongoing research by design project “Art as Vacancy” which looks at the question: “Can expressive mechanisms from the art practice enrich the architectural practice (and vice versa)?”. These mechanisms, tentatively called ‘recode chunks’, ‘name things’ and ‘displacement and proximity’, are discussed as instruments to capture or change the poetic potential of designerly action. This is mainly done by transposing known linguistic mechanisms to the field of non-verbal communication.
