About: Designing

Abstract

The twenty-one contributions to About: Designing draw on a rich variety of methodological positions, research backgrounds and design disciplines including architecture, product design, engineering, applied linguistics, communication studies, cognitive psychology, and discourse studies. Collectively these studies comprise a state-of-the-art overview of design thinking research. The chapters in this book are contributed by senior figures from the field of design studies/design thinking, reporting a landmark study which follows the heavily cited preceding landmark work 'Analysing Design Activity' (1996) by Cross et al.
