The Structure of Design Revolutions: Kuhnian Paradigm Shifts in Creative Problem Solving
Nathan Crilly
Nathan Crilly
Nathan Crilly is a Lecturer in Engineering Design at the University of Cambridge. His research interests are in the areas of design, communication, and user experience. He is especially interested in the way that different academic disciplines can be used to inform the study of those subjects. Nathan's previous publications have focused on how designers intend products to be interpreted, on how products are subsequently interpreted by users, and on how the relationship between those intentions and interpretations can be conceptualized. Other work has examined the role of visual representations in the qualitative research process both as a tool for elicitation and validation. Nathan holds a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, a PhD in product aesthetics, and has professional design experience in the aerospace and software industries.
