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.
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. This is a major contribution to the literature of design research, knowledgeable, informed, and - above all - interesting.

在接到〈求是設計會〉好友的消息問我有沒有興趣翻譯一本設計研究領域的理論性學術著作之後,我瞭解瞭原著作者的背景之後就欣然同意瞭。接著就是“試譯、正式翻譯初稿、校對、許多部分重要修改、齣版社人員重新審稿校對、再改稿……” 一直到今年愚人節(2013-4-1)書從印刷廠...
評分初次閱讀這本書,是在各個機場轉機時,當時我正在校對這本書。 當時我的心一直空落落的,我們的教育好像真的缺瞭什麼。 當初鐵娘子在 1982 年她主持的內閣會議,將“設計” 作為一門必修的通識課程在中小學開始推廣,目的是為未來社會培養有良好設計品味的的消費者和普及設計專...
評分這本書有彆於那些圖比字多的興趣培養類或者作品展示類的設計書,也有彆於那些工具類的設計書籍。屬於設計理論類的,甚至比其範圍更深入,好些地方要用力啃啃纔能明白,確實乾貨。感覺想要深入設計的人進,單純追求視覺的人可以繞道瞭。 這本書的作者,碰巧一位歐洲的設計師朋...

評分每個人都是天生的設計師,生來就有創造新事物、改造舊事物的能力和欲望。然而隨著逐漸長大,很多人卻漸漸失去瞭創造的能力,或者更可怕都是,失去瞭創造的欲望。 設計不是設計師的專利。為臥室選擇一盞溫馨的燈,給朋友做一張個性的生日卡片,把辦公桌椅調成舒適的高度,讓團...
