Subject: looking for references on "problem solving" as a perspective on design
To: [log in to unmask]
> Hi everyone,

> I'm thinking about the notion of "problem solving" as it relates to
> designing. I know some people believe strongly in the notion of
> problems and solutions; I also know others would disagree.
>
> I have access to literature within engineering on this sort of
> thing.
> What I would be interested in is a few references to documents from
> outside engineering, but as close as possible to design generally.
>
> What are the viewpoints on defining things as 'problems' and
> 'solutions'?
> Again, I'm not looking for huge bibliographies. Just a few key (in
> your
> own minds) references to get me started.
>
> Cheers.
