The Foundations of Human-Experiential Design

The main aim of this chapter is to set the scene for a new way of bridging the dichotomy between technological and human concerns. The human-experiential design approach offers a perspective from which both kinds of concern can be met, by providing a third way, which is neither objective nor subjective. It is a theoretical response to the design problems described in Chap. 2. The chapter presents the background to this alternative design practice and suggests that design can potentially play a part in integrating a range of attitudinal oppositions. It goes on to suggest how the designer’s role should be re-positioned with respect to scientific design research.
