Abstract

Feelings, intuition and emotion are often regarded as the heart of design practice and creativity. Designers’ feelings, intuition and emotion are seen as the main basis of addressing ‘wicked’ or complex design problems. This presentation reports research analyses that suggest that this assumption and the associated theories and philosophy is in error.
