An Anthology of Theories and Models of Design Philosophy, Approaches and Empirical Explorations

While investigations into both theories and models has remained a major strand of engineering design research, current literature sorely lacks a reference book that provides a comprehensive and up-to-date anthology of theories and models, and their philosophical and empirical underpinnings; An Antho...
