Simon Kretz: The Cosmos of Design. Explorations in design thinking. Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther König, 2020.
The Cosmos of Designing is a journey through the invisible thought and cognitive processes of design thinking. Simple examples are used to explore designing step by step. Creative experimentation and speculative thinking are highlighted, as well as epistemic testing, iterative development, abductive reasoning, and associative ordering. The result is a coherent body of thought, an illuminating philosophy of design. The Cosmos of Design is intended as a handbook for students and practitioners to broaden the understanding of design, to provide a theoretical foundation and practical stimulation.
