在实践的地形中，他们必须要么留在坚硬的干燥地面上，在那里他们可以根据技术理性的准则发挥作用，将基于研究的理论和技术应用于狭窄范围内的良好问题。范围和重要性有限的问题或者他们可以下到下面的沼泽地，在那里他们不能严格地在任何意义上，他们知道如何描述。（唐纳德·舍恩，1984年，第4页）本书中的章节论述了环境、行为和设计方面的进展。但是，应用环境设计研究的”进展”是什么？在讨论这个问题时，我们意识到，它的提法隐含着两个假设，即研究是一个独立于设计的活动，研究先于设计。在这种范式下，研究人员以学术或顾问的身份工作，提交一份报告或写一篇论文，然后很可能从现场消失，而其他人阅读，理解并最终应用结果。这种模式反映了传统的设计研究的认识论，其中基于研究的知识被应用于设计问题，就像创可贴被应用于瘀伤。创可贴是有用的和重要的-
In the topography of practice, they [researchers] must eIther remam on the hard dry ground where they can function accordmg to the canons of technical rationality, applying research-based theory and technique to a narrow range of well formed problems... of problems of hmited scope and importance... or they can descend to the swampy terram below where they cannot be rigorous in any sense they know how to descnbe.(Donald Schon, 1984, p. 4).The chapters in this volume treat advances in environment, behavior, and design. But what are" advances" in applied environmental design research? Discussing this question, we realized that its very formulation implicitly assumes both that research is a separate activity from design and that research precedes design. Under this paradigm, the researcher operates as an academic or a consultant, submits a report or writes a paper, and then, most likely, disappears from the scene while someone else reads, understands, and finally applies the results. This model reflects a traditional epistemology of design research, in which research-based knowledge is applied to a design problem, much like a band-aid is applied to a bruise. Band-aids are useful and impor-
