Peter G. Rowe.
Design Thinking.
MIT Press. 1987
In Design Thinking Peter Rowe provides a systematic account
of the process of designing in architecture and urban planning.
He examines multiple and often dissimilar theoretical positions—whether
they prescribe forms or simply provide procedures for solving problems—as
particular manifestations of an underlying structure of inquiry common to all designing.
Over 100 illustrations and a number of detailed observations of
designers in action support Rowe's thesis.
