tion. It means that permanently increasing experience and intuition implemented by
aesthetic intention are in constant active interaction, defining aesthetic discourse
as essential aspect of an initial design research process. Existing knowledge, already
active within aesthetic discourse, in this context can be defined through experience
and its constant development in a design research process. Intuition in that sense
can be accepted as an active element of transformation and further development of
‘subject’s’ knowledge. It always initiates process of constituting new values trough
affective attention, which defines aesthetic intention and according to that the nature
of aesthetic discourse and its outcomes. Based on these premises, design research
is focused on modes of thinking and designing activities, defining their primal aes-
thetic values developed within personal approaches to design and creativity, which
is essential for educational purposes.
