Some discussions on architectural knowledge question whether
architecture is a discipline or not and what its frontiers are. Accordingly
how architectural knowledge is produced and what constitutes its basis are
handled with regard to architecture's theory and practice and its relations
with other disciplines. In this context, design is one of the significant
subjects of discussion in respect of the production of architectural knowledge,
as it allows both the theoretical and practical fields of architecture to be
engaged and complex relations to be built with different disciplines. In this
perspective, this paper proposes rethinking on architectural design knowledge.
It addresses "knowledge in designing" as a conceptualization to
define a specialized field of discussion regarding the complex structure of
knowledge formed within the activity of designing. Concerning this
conceptualization, the interrelations between the formation and communication
of knowledge in the activity of designing is examined. To hold such an
examination in terms of the unpredictable, intricated relationships between
thinking and doing, a perspective is opened in the framework of the
experimentality of designing. With this regard, the content created by Gilles
Deleuze regarding experimentalism in context of his philosophy of creation is
used to create an understanding of the structural characteristics and
transmission potential of the" knowledge in designing". In the light
of this understanding, going beyond the epistemological or the doxological
frameworks of knowledge, the validity of the "knowledge in designing"
is discussed based on basis of its own dynamics of genesis.
