A design science approach to “Destroyology”

Abstract

We attempt to construct a design framework by applying design science thinking methods to the “design of destruction that creates value” in destroyology. Based on the AGE thinking model, we analyze collected case studies related to destroyology using the M-method and Time-Axis Design, positioning the design methods of destroyology within the broader landscape of design science. As a result, we propose an extended approach to derive a design method from the perspective of destroyology, that creates value through the design of destruction, systematically integrating its key concepts and evaluation indicators to expand the methodological scope of design science.
