“I can’t withstand hearing anything else about design methodology. Each professor comes with a
different one and ask us to work in his way, which is not the way we
like to work.”
Design student from Unisul

Methodology is not a procedure.

Methodology and method
• Methodology is the critical study of methods from a theoretical perspective
• Method is a coherent structure of techniques needed to reach a result
![Page 5: Design methodologies and Metadesign](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022203/58766ff01a28abd0018b5ee3/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Design methodologiesare based on
• Worldview
• Theoretical foundations
• Practical experience

Agile methodology
• Seeing it working is better than imagining it
• Evolve by iterations
• Dialogue with users
• Lean teams
• Sharing knowledge

Interaction design methods
• Paper prototyping
• Usability test
• Interview
• Shadowing
• etc...

How to develop your own methodology?
• Stick to a certain school of thoughts
• Act in a thoughtful way
• Experiment new ways of doing old things
• Think about the process as much as the product

Metadesign
• A practice identified by Van Onck (1966) in which designers redesign their own process to deal with new complex entities
• Theory extended by Caio Vassão (2008), including its own critique (the bias towards formalizing everything in society) and an alternative path (arquitetura livre)

Metadesign concepts
• Abstraction levels
• Diagramas as reality
• Parametric design
• Emergent phenomena

Metadesign criticism
• Excessive formalization of activity through technology
• Activities become sluggish and bureaucratic
• Conservatism to keep the status quo
• Metadesigners have too much power
• Design activity is reduced to a mechanism
![Page 26: Design methodologies and Metadesign](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022203/58766ff01a28abd0018b5ee3/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Arquitetura Livre (Vassão)
• The project as a question not an answer
• Diagrams that do not represent anything
• Informalization over formalization
• The body as the basis of a project
• Multiple bodies, multiple voices

Design Livre (Van Amstel & Gonzatto)
• From low-tech to high tech
• Counter-project innovation tactics
• Designing in the public
• Generous infrastructuring
• Shared objects that matter
• Raising awareness for contradictions
