2 Design Thinking
Peter Rowe gives a systematic process of designing and defines
Design Thinking as the generation of ideas as a practical skill vital to
the creation of successful design. He analyzes various theoretical
positions to provide procedures for solving problems. To accomplish
this, you must define the problem analysing the situation, next,
generate alternatives before the final evaluation and, finally, evaluate
and select the best alternative. Everything is supported by practical
work examples with over 100 illustrations and a number of detailed
observations.
