内容简介

Making Sense of Design Effective design is at the heart of everything from software development to engineering to architecture. But what do we really know about the design process? What leads to effective, elegant designs? The Design of Design addresses these questions. These new essays by Fred Brooks contain extraordinary insights for designers in every discipline. Brooks pinpoints constants inherent in all design projects and uncovers processes and patterns likely to lead to excellence. Drawing on conversations with dozens of exceptional designers, as well as his own experiences in several design domains, Brooks observes that bold design decisions lead to better outcomes. The author tracks the evolution of the design process, treats collaborative and distributed design, and illuminates what makes a truly great designer. He examines the nuts and bolts of design processes, including budget constraints of many kinds, aesthetics, design empiricism, and tools, and grounds this discussion in his own real-world examples–case studies ranging from home construction to IBM's Operating System/360. Throughout, Brooks reveals keys to success that every designer, design project manager, and design researcher should know.

评论 ······

看的懂的都很受益，8、9、11、12、13章，特别推荐第5部分。后边关于计算机架构的部分太Hardcore了，没看进去。另外，作者自己动手设计了一间房子，唤起了我从小的梦想。

新意缺缺，操作性缺缺。“优秀的设计来自优秀的设计师而不来自优秀的设计流程”，好吧，很有道理。可是，第一，我已经知道了，第二，我该怎么做呢？老人家，大概真的已经老了。

终于挤出时间看完了 = =
