Abstract

The complexity of design is defined in terms of four classes of object - product, programme, process and philosophy - the four 'P's of design. A range of possibilities for writing about these objects is outlined with reference to their methodological implications. Six formats for research presentation are described, each of which relates directly to a common type of designerly enquiry and embraces a productive account of the four 'P's. In conclusion, some observations are made on the value of such research and the opportunities it presents for developing the design discipline.
