Thirteenth International Conference on Design Principles & Practices

Abstract

As a specific ‘diagrammatic documentality and inscription’ (logic and dynamics), ‘design intelligence strategy’ has been proposed as a possible modality of architecturally constructed research framework and digital cognitive/memory-extension applied in order to facilitate dealing with any kind of documentary or creative practice with data and scientific problematization, within the field of design research and science. It has been given the status of a ‘diagram’ - an active principle and manner or (meta-, inter-, and intra- cognitive) register of knowledge production, critique, evaluation, and advancement, world construction, data-compression and articulation, all towards problem solving through its specific diagrammatic visual semiotics and inferencing. This study explores the eleven-degree-set of properties by which it has been constituted (01. meta-level processing: the post-disciplinary metacognition strategy, 02. diagrammatics and diagrammatic thinking strategy; 03. timeline and palimpsest strategies: macro-historical and micro-historical inferences; 04. topological thinking; 05. networking strategy; 06. spatial thinking: data-scaping and mapping (data-architecture strategy); 07. memory palace strategy, 08. quantum logic decidability, 09. dynamic complexity and adaptability strategies; 10. data forensics: information reliability and validation, 11. creative interactive thinking) ‘diagrammatics’ have been extracted and put to the forefront as substantial to both internal relational logic of a certain thinking regime (immanence) and external meta-logic that puts this strategy into a superior meta-position (transcendence).
