About this book
This book presents new ways of facilitating design thinking, through the combination of cognitive design strategies and information technologies. It provides readers with an in-depth understanding of the traditional and digital design processes and activities that are employed in architecture, computational design, communication design and graphic design.
The book is divided into three parts: Part I, which focuses on creativity, uses evidence derived from empirical studies to develop an understanding of the way computational environments shape design thinking and may lead to more inventive outcomes. Part II considers the cognitive dimensions of design teams, crowds and collectives. It investigates the ways digital design platforms promote interactive and collective thinking. Lastly, Part III addresses culture, examining the linguistic and cultural context of the globalised design ecosystem.
Providing valuable insights into design thinking, this book helps readers engage with their local and global environments. It will appeal to academics, researchers and professionals with an interest in understanding design thinking in the context of creativity, collaboration and culture.

Dr Ju Hyun Lee is a Scientia Fellow and Senior Lecturer in the Faculty of the Built Environment, UNSW Sydney. Ju Hyun has made significant contributions to the fields of architectural and computational design, since his first lecturing position (Digital Design) in 2003, South Korea. Ju Hyun was invited to become a visiting academic at the University of Newcastle in 2011, where he was a senior lecturer and completed five-years of post-doctoral studies in design computing and cognition. He was a senior research fellow at the University of South Australia in 2018. He is co-author with Michael J. Ostwald of Grammatical and Syntactical Approaches in Architecture (IGI Global 2020). Ju Hyun has led two externally funded research projects, supported by OLT and DFAT, in Australia.
Professor Michael J. Ostwald is Associate Dean of Research and Professor of Architecture at UNSW, Sydney. He has a PhD in architectural history and theory and a DSc in design mathematics and computing.
