Would love to attend. It could have been fun. Been wondering about the
thought processes of different people, so this is good seminar.
Unfortunately the notice is way too short. And an hour is a little
short too.
Anyway, welcome Prof Durling back to Singapore too.
Best wishes,
Karen Fu

To take one example, engineering designers may be characterised more by systematic processes and functional imperatives. Another example might show designers from the 'art and design' sector having a more intuitive and culturally aware approach. Across professional boundaries, though the modes of reasoning may be markedly diverse, there are similarities of creative personality and cognitive traits that throw light on the remarkable abilities of creative people.
