Abstract

Design by research is a design methodology within the context of subject(s) for a defined group. Descriptive research performs in the context of qualitative research. Philosophy, behavioural sciences, sociology, economics, and other scientific fields contribute to the design domain. The design ability can potentially change our behaviour and initiations in the social and economic context. Design activities must be forward-looking so that design energy can harness humanity's necessary progress. In the context of the elderly, the vital energy of the elderly will stimulate their valuable knowledge, skills and experience for social and economic development. This positive practice brings satisfaction and happiness to the elderly. It benefits society that expects the elderly to enjoy life by spending their money, but often without acquiring knowledge. According to the philosopher Peter Sloterdijk, changes are necessary for life. A life with initiative leads to the collective growth of the personality. This needed energy comes to us from the universe, which opens up our 'Self' and leads to changes in design thinking in the design domain. Discover perspective in design by looking at the design methods that form an umbrella for the design domain. A holistic approach to design will stick to the context of the design, and the need will change through human thinking and action. All design entities will consider the need for humanity and present it during the design process. Philosophy and research into the phenomenon of design can lead to new insights into how life changes through design. The design has intrinsic energy to transform ideas into material and spiritual prosperity and well-being. Design Research is concerned with design by research and how it may apply by designers from two different cultures of the world but with a convergence.
