Understanding How Designers Think and Work
Book • 2011
Nigel Cross's work explores the distinctive ways designers think, characterized by problem framing, iterative solution generation, and synthesis across domains.
The book synthesizes empirical studies and theoretical insights to describe designerly ways of knowing distinct from scientific or artistic modes.
Cross highlights how designers use abductive reasoning, visual thinking, and prototyping to navigate complex problems.
The text has been influential in design research and education, informing how design thinking is taught outside professional design contexts.
It is a foundational resource for understanding the cognitive underpinnings of design practice.
