En Design Thinking Peter Rowe proporciona una descripción sistemática del proceso de diseño en arquitectura y planificación urbana. Examina múltiples posiciones teóricas, a menudo diferentes, si prescriben formas o simplemente proporcionan procedimientos para resolver problemas, como manifestaciones particulares de una estructura subyacente de investigación común a todo diseño. Más de 100 ilustraciones y una serie de observaciones detalladas de diseñadores en acción respaldan la tesis de Rowe.
