"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.
作者认为图解的观点是可以将其看成一个渐进和累积的过程。同时将具体的问题抽象成独立又有关联的节点。这样将设计看着是一个集合模式下的自由组合。 个人的观点是用图论的方式解释设计过程中的问题求解,与心理学中所运用的到图解概念好像并不一致。 设计问题的特点:运用纾解...
评分本书作者克里斯托弗•亚历山大 Christopher Alexander(1936.10.04-),是一位具有广泛影响力的建筑师和设计理论家,现任伯克利的加利福尼亚大学名誉退休教授。他的以人为本设计的本质理论超越了建筑领域,对许多领域包括城市设计,软件设计,社会学和其他领域都产生了深远影...
评分《形式综合论》所讲的理论对每个程序员都不陌生,不就是讲模块划分时的“高内聚低耦合”吗?只不过本书把“高内聚低耦合”推广到了一切设计领域而已。 但这本书牛逼之处在于,居然给出了如何做到“高内聚低耦合”数学模型。换言之,最顶级的建筑师、导演、产品经理、软件架构师...

只看前半部分即可:external fitness and internal fitness are signs of a good design
评分I would say, this is a better work from Alexander, than whatever come after
