"These notes are about the process of design: the process of inventing things which display new physical order, organization, form, in response to function." This book, opening with these words, presents an entirely new theory of the process of design. In the first part of the book, Mr. Alexander discusses the process by which a form is adapted to the context of human needs and demands that has called it into being. He shows that such an adaptive process will be successful only if it proceeds piecemeal instead of all at once. It is for this reason that forms from traditional unselfconscious cultures, molded not by designers but by the slow pattern of changes within tradition, are so beautifully organized and adapted. When the designer, in our own self-conscious culture, is called on to create a form that is adapted to its context he is unsuccessful, because the preconceived categories out of which he builds his picture of the problem do not correspond to the inherent components of the problem, and therefore lead only to the arbitrariness, willfulness, and lack of understanding which plague the design of modern buildings and modern cities. In the second part, Mr. Alexander presents a method by which the designer may bring his full creative imagination into play, and yet avoid the traps of irrelevant preconception. He shows that, whenever a problem is stated, it is possible to ignore existing concepts and to create new concepts, out of the structure of the problem itself, which do correspond correctly to what he calls the subsystems of the adaptive process. By treating each of these subsystems as a separate subproblem, the designer can translate the new concepts into form. The form, because of the process, will be well-adapted to its context, non-arbitrary, and correct. The mathematics underlying this method, based mainly on set theory, is fully developed in a long appendix. Another appendix demonstrates the application of the method to the design of an Indian village.

本書作者剋裏斯托弗•亞曆山大 Christopher Alexander(1936.10.04-),是一位具有廣泛影響力的建築師和設計理論傢,現任伯剋利的加利福尼亞大學名譽退休教授。他的以人為本設計的本質理論超越瞭建築領域,對許多領域包括城市設計,軟件設計,社會學和其他領域都産生瞭深遠影...
評分不會寫代碼的産品經理不是好的産品經理 英語在綫教育網站扇貝網在招聘工程師的時候提到:“鼓勵工程師未來成為産品經理(並非歧視産品經理,而是我們對找到閤適的産品經理已經絕望)”。如今也有越來越多的創業團隊強調産品經理與工程師閤一。我們知道在傳統的軟件開發中,這...
評分 評分作者認為圖解的觀點是可以將其看成一個漸進和纍積的過程。同時將具體的問題抽象成獨立又有關聯的節點。這樣將設計看著是一個集閤模式下的自由組閤。 個人的觀點是用圖論的方式解釋設計過程中的問題求解,與心理學中所運用的到圖解概念好像並不一緻。 設計問題的特點:運用紓解...
評分我是一名程序員,但我更喜歡稱自己為程序設計師,不是因為聽起來好聽,而是因為設計2字。先預告一下,本文主要以程序設計的視角,但是講的是所有的設計。 設計是什麼?簡單的講法,以解決問題為目的的創作行為。以編程為例,解決問題好理解,創作怎麼解釋呢?一般不是隻有畫傢...
圖書標籤: 設計 建築 Design 建築理論 architecture ChristopherAlexander 理論 思維
隻看前半部分即可:external fitness and internal fitness are signs of a good design
評分亞曆山大真真是數學傢分析設計啊,離我有點兒遠
評分經典設計方法論,終於啃完瞭。字字是金玉良言啊。
評分老師推薦的,終於讀完瞭,無關設計技法,而是說“好設計是如何産生的”,也不僅僅是建築這一個角度。英文閱讀尚有障礙,總是看到後麵忘瞭前麵????大概還得再看幾遍
評分I would say, this is a better work from Alexander, than whatever come after
