Abstract:
This paper highlights a recently identified by the community perspective of design research, so far described as "inaccessible", discusses the potential of "designerly" way of approaching it in order to let designers excavate tacit knowledge from their own finished projects. We frame demonstrators as a category of design outcomes that can be a great source of such knowledge. Skills of empathy and intuition are called crucial for researchers to position themselves inside the design system looking inwards.
