EXPERIENTIAL KNOWLEDGE (EKSIG)
SUB-CHAIR: NITHIKUL NIMKULRAT, ESTONIAN ACADEMY OF ARTS

CO-CONVENERS:

Anne Louise Bang, Design School Kolding, Denmark
Mark Evans, Loughborough University, UK
Ann Heylighen, KU Leuven, Belgium
Maarit Mäkelä, Aalto University, Finland
Kristina Niedderer, University of Wolverhampton, UK
Jayne Wallace, Northumbria University, UK

Experiential knowledge is the knowledge gained by experience. It signifies a way of knowing about and understanding things and events through direct engagement with people and environment. Experiential knowledge, thinking and knowing are at the core of design practice. A design process begins and ends in the domain of experience that is in turn changed by design.

The EKSIG strand at DRS2016 invites papers and case studies that contribute to a more systematic approach for studying and integrating experiential knowledge and knowing into design practice and research. Contributors may consider the following topics:

	• Methods for the communication and transfer of experiential knowledge within design research;
	• The contribution of design practices to the understanding and communication of experiential knowledge in design research;
	• Frameworks for guiding the reception and interpretation of professional design practices and/or artefacts within research;
	• Issues evolving from criteria of research such as repeatability and transferability for the foregrounding of tacit knowledge in design research.
