Dear Mauricio,
these sources below might match your interest in intuition & the systemic side of knowlwdge production -- there surely are other sources as well but these came into my mind in the first place.
Even these two are not in the field of design, I have found them applicable:
A. Glöckner & C. Witteman (Eds.) (2010), Foundations for tracing intuition: Challenges and methods. Hove, East Sussex, New York, NY: Psychology Press & Routledge.
R. Davis-Floyd & P. S. Arvidson (Eds.), Intuition: The Inside Story: Interdisciplinary Perspectives. New York: Routledge.
(some of the articles in this book are phenomenologically oriented, but there are other perspectives too, e.g. I recommend the one by Evelyn Monsay and the one by Brenda Dunne)
These below are made in the field of design and they include some conclusions which are related to your interest:
Cross, N. (2004). Expertise in design: an overview. Design Studies, 25(5), 427–441. doi:10.1016/j.destud.2004.06.002

Roberts, A. (2006). Cognitive styles and student progression in architectural design education. Design Studies, 27(2), 167–181. doi:10.1016/j.destud.2005.07.001
Suwa, M., Gero, J., & Purcell, T. (2000). Unexpected discoveries and S-invention of design requirements: important vehicles for a design process. Design Studies, 21(6), 539–567. doi:10.1016/S0142-694X(99)00034-4
Hope these will help you :-).
With Best Regards,

In some emergent and debated approaches to design research (e.g. research-creation, research through design, practice-led research…), some folks seem to claim for greater recognition of the role of intuition on the research process. I don’t think a creation or design product alone is enough to count as an outcome of systematic academic research. However, how could designers or artists’ intuition have a greater role in systematic knowledge production? Is this possible at all? Could anyone recommend me references related to this issue?
