Hi Flora and all.
I am a PhD student at the Barcelona University.
My study is about design process and, of course, design thinking and design knowing as main issues of the process.
I would recommend some works from the Conferences of DRS (Design Research Society) and IASDR (International Association of Societies of Design Research). Almost all of them are available in the web.
I think there would be helpful the following:
DRS 2004 Melbourne
http://www.futureground.monash.edu.au/
Kees Dorst - Eindhoven University Of Technology
Investigating the Nature of Design Thinking
http://alexandria.tue.nl/openaccess/Metis197449.pdf
IASDR 2009 Seoul
Rigor and relevance in design
october 18.22, COEX, Seoul, Korea
http://www.iasdr2009.org/
The Design Postgraduate Journeyman. Mapping the relationship between Design Thinking and Doing with Skills Acquisition for Skilful Practice
Robert Young / Northumbria University / UK
Elizabeth MacLarty / Northumbria University / UK
Kathryn McKelvey / Northumbria University / UK
The Use Of Design Thinking To Enable Human Centered Innovation Within The Organisation
Lorenz Herfurth / Lancaster University / UK
available from: http://www.iasdr2009.org/ap/Papers/IASDR2009_Proceedings_all%20papers.pdf
Also I recommend:
BUCHANAN, R. (1992). Wicked Problems in Design Thinking. Design Issues, 8(2), 5-21.
and the following books:
MARGOLIN, Victor (Editor), BUCHANAN, Richard (Editor) - The Idea of Design
The MIT Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1995
CROSS, Nigel - Designerly Ways of Knowing
BIRD (Board of International Research in Design), Birkhäuser Verlag AG, Berlin, 2007
best regards
