Evidence for Hope - The Search for Sustainable Development (Paperback): Nigel Cross Evidence for Hope - The Search for Sustainable Development (Paperback)
Nigel Cross
R1,354 Discovery Miles 13 540 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Since the Stockholm Environment Conference in 1972 and the Rio Summit in 1992, there has been unprecedented public concern for the future of the planet and a growing awareness that development needs to be sustainable. This text charts the growth of these ideas by beginning with a visionary piece written by Barbara Ward in the 1970s, and ends with a chapter looking ahead another 30 years into the future. Two generations of thinkers and activists have helped to shape environment and development policy and increase local level power in environmental management. In celebration of their 30th anniversary, the IIED's most influential writers provide in this volume a perspective on three decades of development and green debates.

Design Thinking - Understanding How Designers Think and Work (Hardcover, 2nd edition): Nigel Cross Design Thinking - Understanding How Designers Think and Work (Hardcover, 2nd edition)
Nigel Cross
R1,606 Discovery Miles 16 060 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

What do designers do during the activity of ‘designing’? How are creative thinking skills employed? What is design ability and how is it developed? Nigel Cross, one of design’s foremost scholars, explores through observation, analysis and reflection the often enigmatic elements of design thinking. Detailed case studies provide commentary on specific examples of design innovation and development, with interspersed chapters providing research-based overviews of design cognition. This new edition expands on the previous book with more emphasis on teamwork and co-design, and updated and expanded case studies and examples - including the development of a Formula One car and a backpack for mountain biking - as well as a new glossary of key terms. Written for all those wanting to understand more about how good designers work, regardless of discipline.

Design Methodology and Relationships with Science (Hardcover, 1993 ed.): Marc J. de Vries, Nigel Cross, D.P. Grant Design Methodology and Relationships with Science (Hardcover, 1993 ed.)

R5,620 Discovery Miles 56 200 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Many business corporations are faced with the challenge of bringing together quite different types of knowledge in design processes: knowledge of different disciplines in the natural and engineering sciences, knowledge of markets and market trends, knowledge of political and juridical affairs. This also means a challenge for design methodology as the academic discipline that studies design processes and methods. The aim of the NATO ARW of which this book is the report was to bring together colleagues from different academic fields to discuss this increasing multidisciplinarity in the relationship between design and sciences. This multidisciplinarity made the conference a special event. At a certain moment one of the participants exclaimed: "This is not a traditional design methodology conference " Throughout the conference it was evident that there was a need to develop a common language and understanding to enable the exchange of different perspectives on design and its relationship with science. The contributions that have been included in this book show these different perspectives: the philosophical, the historical, the engineering perspective and the practical designer's experience.

R4,876 Discovery Miles 48 760 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

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.
