  3. Context sensitivity of our design object Preface by Rector Fokkema Within the range of a technical university the object of design – in terms of (urban) architecture and technique – is the design subject that is amongst all others most sensitive to context. The programme of requirements is not only derived from an economical and technical context, but also from contexts hailing from political, cultural, ecological en spatial considerations; on many levels of scale.

  4. How tohandlecontext

  5. Explicit future context • protects your study against judgements with other suppositions about the future context • raises the debate about the robustness of your study in different future contexts • raises a ‘field of problems’ instead of an isolated ‘problem statement’ by subtracting desirable futures from the probable ones • makes your study comparable to others concerning comparable contexts

  6. Language games

  7. Different modalities of future context • design science (possible futures >) • empirical science (probable futures >) • policy (desirable futures >)

  8. Probable futures There are more and less probable futures

  9. Probability ±s = 68%, ± 2s = 95%, ± 3s = 99.7% chance

  10. Possibility Anything probable is per definition possible but not everything possible is also probable. The probable future could be predicted. The improbable possibilities cannot be predicted. You only can explore them by design.

  11. Desirable futures Ir. Drs. Mr.

  12. Obvious and Impossible futures

  13. Problems and aims

  14. Undesired, improbable possibilities Are they relevant as long as nobody wants them?

  15. Unexpected inventions Yes

  16. Changing desires

  17. Field of problems and aims • Problems: probable, but not desirable futures • Aims: desirable, but not probable futures

  18. Valid, Reliable

  19. Syntactic key words object y as a working (function, action, output, result, property) of subject x (independent variabele actor, input, condition, cause) y(x) object(subject) Suffering object(subject) impact(condition, cause) aim(means) The verb is replaced by brackets () Form follows function. ~ form(function) landscape(villa) villa(landscape) See also index of Ways to Study

  20. Nestedkey words villa(landscape(water-system, history)) villa(landscape(water-system(history))) villa(landscape((water-system, occupation)(history, spatial dispersion))) )( means a matrix: useful as a list of contents of your report: 1 water-system(history) 2 water-system(spatial dispersion) 3 occupation(history) 4 occupation(spatial dispersion)

  21. Operations (functions) y= f(x) • intuitive: f(x):= associated with x • conditional: f(x):= possible by x • set-theoretical: f(x):= part of x, encloses x, without x ... • logical: f(x):= if x, not x ... • mathematical: f(x):= x+x , x2... • causal f(x):= caused by x • temporal: f(x):= preceded, followed by x • spatial(formal): f(x):= near to, contiguous to, surrounded by x ... • structural: f(x):= connected with x • combinations: a box of boards connected by nails:box(boards, nails)

  22. Criteria for a study proposal A.Affinity with designing B.University latitude C.Concept formation and transferability D.Retrievability and accumulating capacity E.Methodical accountability and depth F.Ability to be criticised and to criticise G.Convergence and limitations
