Designerly Ways of Knowing

Focusing on the evolution of a personal research program, this book addresses the need for a clear understanding of design as an independent discipline. It explores the unique aspects of design activity, behavior, and cognition, arguing for the development of "designerly ways of knowing." Through a combination of empirical research and theoretical reflection, the author synthesizes findings from various presentations and papers to illuminate the nature of design expertise, its strengths, and its significance in the realm of human intelligence.
