This book is a unique insight into expanding discipline area with important implications for design research, education and practice.

This book traces the development of a research interest in articulating and understanding the idea that designers have and use 'designerly' ways of knowing and thinking.

The following topics are covered: nature and nurture of design ability; creative cognition in design; natural intelligence of design; design discipline versus design science; and, expertise in design.
