“I think that the concept of ‘intuition’ is a convenient, shorthand word for what really happens in design thinking. The more useful concept that has been used by design researchers in explaining the reasoning processes of designers is that ‘design is abductive’: A type of reasoning different from the more familiar concepts of inductive and deductive, but which is the necessary logic of design – the necessary but difficult step from function to form.”
