Methodology 1. Successive fabrication of complex innovative prototypes
Seriality as methodology is a main characteristic of the author’s research practice and represents his conscious attempt to gain expertise by repetition and iteration, ‘in the domain of scientific observation that is absolutely objective, the “first time” doesn’t count. Observation, then, belongs in the domain of “several times”’ (Bachelard 1994). In this project, seriality meant a succession – parallel or sequential in time – of exercises, and with a large number of similar or contrasting techniques and project partners. Ongoing confrontation with several problems provided a contextually broad record of research significance with weight and impact for wider application in the industry (28–9).
