Abstract
Editorial Summary: Entitled »Embodied Knowledge, Tool, and Sketch«, Nandini Oehlmann's contribution directs the focus to the »intuitive production of knowledge in architectural design«, also the subtitle of the text, and aims to trace the tacit, pre-reflective knowledge that plays a guiding role in the design process. As she defines design as having »an idea in mind as a vague notion«, her investigation is driven by the search for a profound understanding of the knowledge transfer of cognitive and manual knowing. She places an emphasis on the evolution of knowledge in the design process, from indistinct premonition to a specific concretization of the design. Tacit knowledge forms the core of this research, aiming to decipher this preconscious experience-based manual or bodily knowledge. [Katharina Voigt]

The following article discusses aspects of several theories and thinkers that deal with the relation between body, language, and knowledge that can enrich and expand our knowledge of design processes
I aim to further widen the broad field of questions concerning the specific knowledge contained in the design process
Summary
Editorial Summay: Entitled »Embodied Knowledge, Tool, and Sketch«, Nandini Oehlmann’s contribution directs the focus to the »intuitive production of knowledge in architectural design«, the subtitle of the text, and aims to trace the tacit, pre-reflective knowledge that plays a guiding role in the design process As she defines design as having »an idea in mind as a vague notion«, her investigation is driven by the search for a profound understanding of the knowledge transfer of cognitive and manual knowing. The discipline of cognitive linguistics precisely examines non-verbal and pre-linguistic thought In language, this relationship between implicit and explicit knowledge and intuition and unconscious adaptations in everyday life is applied in a similar manner. Other than for the »linguistic turn« this is not about semiotic and semantic questions
