Abstract

The aim of the paper is to review the trends in discussions related to the design process, design cognition, and design concepts. The method employed to identify these trends involved a thematic literature review of top journals in the Scopus database within the field of architecture and design cognition in 2023. After extensive filtering of journals and articles, the paper narrowed down its focus to one journal that met the criteria, namely Design Studies. Articles were limited to those dated from 2018 to 2023, resulting in a review of 34 articles. Three themes were identified in the articles reviewed, namely (i) Data-Informed Design Process; (ii) Sustainable, Inclusivity, and User Reflection; and (iii) Collaborative Ideation.
