- Abstract
This study presents a ludic approach to understand design researchers’ routine and its relevance in providing insights about their research. We place design researchers as users to comprehend their daily activities while doing their research. In this project, design researchers consist of students from the Design Ph.D. at the Faculty of Architecture, University of Lisbon. By using design probes, we intend to draw attention to the design researcher’s unique experiences and distinctive perspectives while creatively engage the users to collect data. We collect four sets of data from five participants. One of the essential results of the probing activity is that each participant is aware of and reflects on their anxiety and happiness while doing their work. This chapter’s work will contribute to a better understanding of student’s design research practice as expertise rests on it. Sharing this personal knowledge may help upcoming Ph.D. students in creating and developing guidelines, especially in the starting years of their research and investigation.
