Abstract
This introductory chapter provides a guide to the contents of the second part of the book and, at the same time, creates a trait d’union between the two sections of the volume. This is achieved by focusing on the twelve case histories outlined in the phenomenological analysis by the five authors, presenting and visualizing them on the map of AdvanceDesign’s dimensions already introduced in the first part of the book.
Given that external reality is a fiction, the writer’s role is almost superfluous. He does not need to invent the fiction because it is already there.

The terms ‘research on design’, ‘research through design’ and ‘research for design’ were proposed by Frayling (1993) and then discussed by many authors. However, this interpretation seems very appropriate: ‘So, design research is beginning to be interpreted from a phenomenological standpoint, observing the reality of design to extract general rules and principles that are, however, in constant evolution with changing viewpoint and context […] From an operational point of view, it is not only or primarily the academic community that explicitly interprets this approach, but actors in the professional world that, increasingly, not only design but also acquire and develop knowledge about and for design’ (Bertola and Maffei 2008, p. 16).
