Abstract
Developing design projects requires not only technical expertise but also an understanding of the structures that guide knowledge production. In this context, it becomes essential to examine how cognitive processes are articulated with design methods in the formulation of innovative solutions. This article investigates the interactions between Epistemology and the Design Thinking methodological approach, widely applied in innovation contexts. The research, qualitative and theoretical-conceptual in nature, is based on a literature review and comparative analysis, seeking to identify convergences between the logical-linguistic, modeling and representation, and operational subsystems, and the immersion, ideation, and prototyping stages of Design Thinking. The results indicate that intuitive, representational, and rational processes involved in Design Thinking can be further explored in light of the epistemological structures analyzed. It concludes that this articulation contributes to strengthening the theoretical foundation of Design Thinking and broadening the understanding of the cognitive mechanisms that underpin innovation in design.
