Reflection 5

Donald Schön's work views design as an experimental process in which the designer makes hypothetical moves and evaluates their consequences. This process is both subjective, based on the designer's values, norms, and preferences (Schön calls this a "perceptual system"), and objective, allowing the designer to test and adjust their ideas through interaction with the project. Schön illustrates this with the example of a student, Harold, and his mentor, Franz, who are discussing a dormitory project. Despite Harold's talent, he encounters a "dead end" due to his rejection of a hierarchical organization in favor of more flexible, locally defined relationships between spaces. Reflection reveals that Harold's difficulty is not only technical, but also conceptual, related to his worldview of space and control. While Harold values ​​ambiguity and flexibility, Franz understands that without some organization or hierarchy, the project risks becoming incomprehensible to others as well as to Harold himself. Schön emphasizes that the reflective dialogue between Harold and Franz is not an imposition of one opinion on the other, but a process of joint exploration in which both views are examined,

This example demonstrates the complexity of the designer's work, where subjective preferences interact with objective demands for clarity and functionality. Schön also emphasizes that learning to design is a non-linear process, often involving wrestling with dilemmas and having to make decisions between competing values.
