• Exploring the neurological basis of design cognition using brain imaging: some preliminary results (2009, background): “This view resonates strongly with many design researchers’ views about design and its potential difference with (well-defined) problem solving (see also Dorst, 2006).”
• The Interplay between Creativity Issues and Design Theories: A New Perspective for Design Management Studies? (2011, positive): “…  it   has   been   shown   that   past   design   theories   (in   particular   Simon’s   design   theory   based   on   problem-‐solving)   could   not  tackle  some  creativity  issues  (Dorst  2006;  Hatchuel  2002);  and  some  authors   have   proposed   new   design   theories  which  …”
• The core of ‘design thinking’ and its application (2011, methodology): “This comparison establishes the designing professions as reasoning in ways fundamentally different from the reasoning in fields predominantly based on analysis (deduction, induction) and problem solving (Abduction-1, see also (Dorst, 1997, 2006)).”
