How Designers Think (Bryan Lawson)
Bryan Lawson's book How Designers Think shows that designers work by repeatedly redefining the problem as they explore solutions, rather than following a straight line from brief to answer.
As Bryan Lawson described in How Designers Think, this iterative redefinition is central to the design process.
