How to explain the inner workings of the designing mind..., June 1, 2008
This review is from: Designerly Ways of Knowing (Board of International Research in Design) (Paperback)
Cross's book presents an updated collection of essays analyzing design behavior. Each essay furthers the argument for the value of design with insight into the inner workings of the design process. This is done by relating government research, comparisons of designers at the same task, and interviews with world class designers. The book elevates design thinking to an intrinsic cultural value and a basic human intelligence which should be taught to everyone alongside numeracy and literacy. Most importantly, Cross provides a challenge and a framework to advance design education and the discipline of design through the study of design thought, design activity, and the cultural artifacts of design.
