Paperback. Condición: Very Good. 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.…

Ships from the USA, quickly & w/care. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ SYNOPSIS & HISTORY: The Design of Design: Essays from a Computer Scientist by Frederick P. Brooks, Jr. examines the principles, cognitive processes and structural dynamics behind complex engineering work. Published by Addison-Wesley in 2010 as a successor to his 1975 book The Mythical Man-Month, the volume widens the inquiry from software development to civil engineering, hardware architecture and structural design. Twenty-eight essays look at how constraints, aesthetic choices and organizational hierarchies shape large technical projects. Black-and-white architectural photographs, technical diagrams and manuscript facsimiles accompany the analytical case studies. Examples run from Christopher Wren's plans for St. Paul's Cathedral to J. S. Bach's musical manuscripts, and Brooks sets his experience managing IBM's System/360 mainframe project alongside the design of a house. Brooks was Kenan Professor of Computer Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and received the National Medal of Technology and the A.M. Turing Award. The text argues against linear design methodology and for conceptual integrity held by a single guiding architectural vision.…
