Abstract
Design with the aim of changing the world is a creative
and systematic process and has different stages with a
clear, orderly and relational sequence. Design thinking,
which has long been the subject of discussion by design
researchers, is a set of internal and external concepts and
aspects that are used by designers in the design process.
Therefore, it is important to conduct research that examines
the design thinking style and creates a good understanding
of it. During the studies conducted in this research in the
field of design thinking, the necessity of addressing the
theories of thinkers in this field about the intrinsic aspects
of design has been realized. The purpose of this research is
to achieve the most important intrinsic and internal aspects
of design that are considered by prominent researchers
in the field of design thinking, which is descriptive and
based on studies and studies conducted in the research and
writings of these five prominent designers in the field of
design thinking. They have mostly worked in this field
and the book of design encyclopedia has been done with
a qualitative approach and has been done by desk-based
study. After a preliminary study of the text of the researches
and writings of the selected researchers, and achieving the
intrinsic and internal aspects of the design expressed by
them, this study examines the level of attention of each
researcher that has paid to this aspect. Therefore, from this
perspective, it is a kind of theoretical study and content
analysis and is based on the study and inference of topics
from data. The results show that researchers have pointed
to seventeen inherent aspects of design in their studies,
of which Brian Lawson and Nigel Cross have done the
most. Also, the most attention of researchers has been
paid to the intrinsic aspects of “creativity” and “sketch”,
respectively, and the least attention of researchers has been
paid to the intrinsic aspects of “sudden mental insight” and
“schema”. Most researchers have dealt with the aspects
of “creativity”, “discovery or discovery”, “intuition” and
“unconscious”, respectively, which show the importance of
these aspects. Finally, this research is a step to start future
studies in order to achieve the way of thinking of designers
and provide the best model of design thinking based on
the intrinsic and internal aspects of design. Based on the
findings of the present study, the question arises: To what
extent do they create the product according to the inherent
aspects of the design? And whether it is possible to provide
a suitable model for the design process according to the
most important internal and intrinsic aspects of design for
the work creation process? Also, in the continuation of the
present study, it is possible to study the in-depth position
regarding the content used in each of these intrinsic and
internal aspects along with environmental influences and
personality traits and use factor analysis methods to expand
the results as much as possible.
