Hi Heico,
Might be worth considering Lawson as well: Lawson, B. 2005. How Designers Think: The Design Process Demystified. 4th ed. Architectural Press.
First edition: 1980.

The 1998 essay "An Ethnographic Perspective on Engineering Design" is influential. This particular essay references the conference paper on "Engineering Design Thinking" [Proceedings 1987 ASEE Annual Conference, Reno, Nevada, 1987]. The actual term "Design Thinking" enters here -- but it is modified.

This is quite different from Rowe's book "Design Thinking" where Rowe stated "this book is an attempt to fashion a generalized portrait of design thinking" (Rowe, 1987, p.1). He also provided an account of the process of designing in architecture and urban planning.
