طرح ها، قمار و سابقه: برخی از عوامل در تخصص طراحی

The paper begins by outlining some methodological problems, concluding that to understand design expertise we will need to recognise that such practice includes the roles of teams, communication and shared experiences and understandings. It explores the significance of experience in expertise focussing on the way precedent stored in the form of episodic schemata is used by experts to recognise design situations for which gambits are available. The paper combines evidence from new empirical data on the perception of drawings with interviews with expert designers and research on expertise from other cognitive fields. The paper concludes that design expertise cannot be understood by studying actions alone but that our research needs to concentrate on perception and recognition and that we will have to examine conversations and memories as much as drawings.
