Chiara Di Leone
How We Know What We Make
This discussion challenges the prevailing role of narratives and explores the epistemological dimensions in shaping design methodologies. How do these narratives inform our understanding of design’s epistemology? Despite narrative-driven attempts to articulate design approaches, actual challenges persist, urging a critical revaluation of the narrative’s role in addressing the complexities of design methodology and its epistemological underpinnings.
