The concept of a ~designerly ways of knowinga (TM) emerged in the
late 1970s in association with the development of new approaches in
design education. Professor Nigel Cross first clearly articulated
this concept in a paper called a ~Designerly Ways of Knowinga (TM)
which was published in the journal Design Studies in 1982. Since
then, the field of study has grown considerably, as both design
education and design research have developed together into a new
discipline of design. This book provides a unique insight into a
field of study with important implications for design research,
education and practice.
Professor Nigel Cross is one of the most
internationally-respected design researchers and this book is a
revised and edited collection of key parts of his published work
from the last quarter century. Designerly Ways of Knowing traces
the development of a research interest in articulating and
understanding the nature of design cognition, and the concept that
designers (whether architects, engineers, product designers, etc.)
have and use particular a ~designerlya (TM) ways of knowing and
thinking. There are chapters covering the following topics:
- the nature and nurture of design ability;
- creative cognition in design;
- the natural intelligence of design;
- design discipline versus design science; and,
- expertise in design.
As a timeline of scholarship and research, and a resource for
understanding how designers think and work, Designerly Ways of
Knowing will be of interest to researchers, teachers and students
of design; design practitioners and design managers.
This is a major contribution to the literature of
designresearch, knowledgeable, informed, and - above all -
interesting.
