Enabling Creative Critical Design Practices

This book has considered design work that progressively departs from a normative process as de-sign problems get less tame. Differences between ideals and realities are primarily ones of structure. RILED phases each focus on a single design arena. Problem phases must logically precede solution phases. Systematic interfaces between adjacent phases are imagined, with phase outputs acting as inputs to generation, derivation, translation, or other design activities that are conceived as quasi-me-chanical operations. None of these RILED assumptions hold in creative critical design practice.
