Introduction

Design thinking is a concept used in many contexts. Most often it is used to describe a king of design methodology. Dorst (1997) [1], distinguishes two paradigms of current design methodology: design seen as a rational problem solving process and design considered as a reflective practice.

Types of design thinking

Johansson-Sköldberg et al. (2013). [2] distinguish five types of design thinking.

  1. Design and designerly thinking as the creation of artefacts (Simon, 1969) [3]
  2. Design and designerly thinking as a reflexive practice (Schön, 1983).[4]
  3. Design and designerly thinking as a problem‐solving activity (Buchanan, 1992 based on Rittel and Webber, 1973). [5], [6], [7],
  4. Design and designerly thinking as a way of reasoning/making sense of things (Lawson, 2006 [1980]; Cross, 2006, 2011). [8], [9]
  5. Design and designerly thinking as creation of meaning (Krippendorff, 2006).[10]
