"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.
在这个人人都是产品经理的时代,在这个鼓吹创意,艺术的时代,人们的认知观念中,认为设计过程更应该是艺术,是感性。人们倾向于把设计家定位为艺术家。把产品设计过程,定义为设计者直觉、艺术、美的表达过程。那么反思,该如何进行产品设计? 首先明确定义,什么是产品设计...
评分一句话概括:有可能通过图解的整合,来创造整体化设计。 读后感: 这本薄薄的、百页左右的小书,糅合了许多有益的思想,适合设计者用来反思自己的思维框架。 比如,在第五章中,作者借用了结构语言学的知识谈概念内涵的互相依存,指出设计者借用语言来设计的弊...
评分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...

评分亚历山大真真是数学家分析设计啊,离我有点儿远
评分I would say, this is a better work from Alexander, than whatever come after
评分亚历山大真真是数学家分析设计啊,离我有点儿远
评分最实用的理论书。有一种平时上死丢丢关于设计的想法被人以极为系统的,非常清晰的语言总结了出来。关于form和context, 关于self-conscious和unconscious的culture. 这才是受用的理论干货!而且行文简洁有逻辑,不像很多其他理论只会泛泛而谈纸上谈兵,随便一个很普通的argument不扯一下康德黑格尔,不解释一下普朗克薛定谔爱因斯坦,不弄一弄索绪尔语言学,不吹吹后现代就不罢休。要努力学会写出这样清晰有力的文字来。相见恨晚!
