Items related to How Designers Think
This is about design problems and the design process. Design skills (or "creativity") are involved in a great many human activities, but exactly how the design process occurs has obstinately resisted explanation both by those involved in practice and by psychologists. Bryan Lawson has the unusual qualification of being both a designer and a psychologist, and this book draws on his own teaching experience, designers' own accounts of their work, and the writing of design methodologists and theoreticians. The author shows that the design process involves a variety of different types of thinking and that design skills can be acquired, practised and improved, like playing an instrument, rather than being imparted as if by some mysterious process. His book will be of great interest not only to designers seeking a greater insight into their own thought processes, but also to students of design in general.

Book Description:
Gain insight into a designer's thought process...
From the Publisher:
How Designers Think is based on Bryan Lawson's many observations of designers at work, interviews with designers and their clients and collaborators. This extended work is the culmination of twenty-five years' research and shows the author's belief that we all can learn to design better. The creative mind continues to have power to surprise and this book aims to nurture and extend this creativity. This book is not intended as an authoritative description of how designers should think but to provide helpful advice on how to develop an understanding of design. 'How Designers Think' will be of great interest, not only to designers seeking a greater insight into their own thought processes, but also to students of design in general from undergraduate level upward.
