Designerly Ways of Knowing

Autor Nigel Cross
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 oct 2010

În volumul Designerly Ways of Knowing, Nigel Cross propune o perspectivă care depășește simpla documentație tehnică sau manualele de proceduri, oferind o fundamentare epistemologică a designului. Spre deosebire de ghidurile oficiale care se concentrează pe 'cum să facem', această lucrare investighează 'cum știm ceea ce facem'. Descoperim aici o argumentație riguroasă pentru recunoașterea designului ca o disciplină autonomă, refuzând subordonarea acestuia față de științele exacte sau arte. Recomandăm această lectură pentru modul în care reușește să articuleze natura specifică a gândirii de design, bazându-se pe ani de cercetare empirică și teoretică. Structura cărții este organizată progresiv, începând cu analiza abilităților naturale de design și evoluând spre capitole complexe despre inteligența artificială și strategiile creative. Capitolul dedicat 'Saltului Creativ' (The Creative Leap) oferă o analiză tehnică a momentelor de insight, în timp ce secțiunile finale consolidează argumentele pentru design ca disciplină academică de sine stătătoare. Cititorul care a aplicat ideile din How Designers Think de Bryan Lawson va găsi aici fundamentul teoretic care completează observațiile practice, trecând de la fenomenologia procesului la o înțelegere profundă a structurilor cognitive implicate. În contextul operei sale, această lucrare rafinează temele abordate în Design Methodology and Relationships with Science, unde Nigel Cross explora intersecția dintre diversele tipuri de cunoaștere. Dacă în lucrările anterioare accentul cădea pe relațiile interdiscipinare, aici focusul se mută pe definirea nucleului dur al expertizei în design. Putem afirma că volumul reprezintă o sinteză matură a eforturilor autorului de a demonstra că designul posedă o raționalitate proprie, esențială pentru inteligența umană.

De ce să citești această carte

Această carte se adresează cercetătorilor și practicienilor care doresc să înțeleagă mecanismele cognitive din spatele procesului de creație. Cititorul câștigă o bază teoretică solidă pentru a argumenta valoarea designului ca formă distinctă de cunoaștere, dincolo de estetică sau inginerie. Este un instrument esențial pentru oricine vrea să depășească nivelul intuitiv și să acceseze expertiza în design printr-o metodologie riguroasă.

Despre autor

Nigel Cross este un cercetător de renume în domeniul metodologiei designului, fiind una dintre figurile centrale care au contribuit la recunoașterea acestuia ca disciplină academică. Prin lucrări precum Design Methodology and Relationships with Science, el a explorat modul în care cunoștințele din inginerie, științe naturale și piață fuzionează în procesul de proiectare. În cadrul Designerly Ways of Knowing, Cross își sintetizează deceniile de studiu asupra cogniției de design, oferind o perspectivă tehnică și teoretică asupra modului în care experții procesează problemele complexe de design.

Descriere scurtă

This book traces the development of a personal research programme over a period of many years. The starting point for the programme was a realisation that research in design seemed to have no clear goal of what it was trying to achieve. A key insight for me was to realise that if we wanted to develop a robust, independent discipline of design (rather than let design be subsumed within paradigms of science or the arts), then we had to be much more articulate about the particular nature of design activity, design behaviour and design cognition. We had to build a network of arguments and evidence for ‘designerly ways of knowing’. The research programme has included some empirical, laboratory-based work, but has also included theoretical reflection, and attempts to review and synthesise the work of other researchers. I have reported this work at various times and in various places – in lectures, conference presentations and journal papers. In this book I have brought together a selected series of these reports, trying to trace a coherent thread, and to lay out some of the network of arguments and evidence referred to above. My goal has been to understand how designers think, or the nature of design expertise, trying to establish its particular strengths and weaknesses, and giving credit where it might be due for design cognition as an essential aspect of human intelligence.

Notă biografică

Nigel Cross is Professor of Design Studies at the UK’s Open University and a leading international figure in the world of design research. With academic and practical backgrounds in architecture and industrial design, he has conducted research in computer-aided design, design methodology and design education since the nineteen-sixties. His current principal research interest is in design cognition, based on studies of expert and exceptional designers. He has been a member of the academic staff of the pioneering, multi-media Open University since 1970, where he has been responsible for, or instrumental in, a wide range of distance education courses in design and technology. For many years Professor Cross was Head of the Department of Design and Innovation at the Open University – a department with one of the strongest research records in Art and Design in the UK. Recent books by Professor Cross include the third edition of his successful textbook on Engineering Design Methods (Wiley, 2000), and he has been a co-editor of books on Research in Design Thinking, Analysing Design Activity and Expertise in Design. His total publications list includes more than 120 items, plus many Open University course texts, broadcasts, etc. Professor Cross is also Editor-in-Chief of the international journal of Design Studies.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

The concept of ‘designerly ways of knowing’ 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 ‘Designerly Ways of Knowing’ 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 ‘designerly’ 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.
