Das Verstehen und Entwerfen im Design gehorcht ganz eigenen Regeln. Nigel Cross begann um 98 mit anderen avantgardistischen Forschern diese spezifischen Gesetzmäßigkeiten herauszuarbeiten. Das Buch fasst seine fundamentalen Erkenntnisse der letzten 25 Jahre konzis zusammen. Es bietet einen faszinierenden und qualifizierten Einblick in die Welt der Design-Kreativität. Die sieben Kapitel behandeln Kernthemen wie: die Fähigkeit zum Design-Entwerfen, natürliche und künstliche Intelligenz im Design, der kreative Sprung, die kreativen Strategien, Problem-Formulierung, das Generieren von Lösungen, Design als eine (wissenschaftliche) Disziplin. Die Einleitung des BIRD (Board of International Research in Design) macht deutlich, warum Designerly Ways of Knowing den kongenialen Einstieg in diese rasch an Bedeutung gewinnende Disziplin darstellt.
Nigel Cross ist Professor of Design Studies an der englischen Open University in Milton Keynes und Editor-in-Chief der internationalen Zeitschrift " Design Studies" .
Designerly Ways of Knowing.- The Nature and Nurture of Design Ability.- Natural and Artificial Intelligence in Design.- Creative Cognition in Design I: The Creative Leap.- Creative Cognition in Design II: Creative Strategies.- Understanding Design Cognition.- Design as a Discipline.
