"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.

看了这本书,对作者的崇拜是发自内心的,对译者的崇拜更是五体投地的

如果一本译注里满篇都是“不管我们通过何种程序来思考需求问题,在寻求满足所有需求的形式时,必须在某些阶段解决各个冲突”这类抽象名词时,毫无疑问,阅读时已经消耗了大量的“句法能量”,能放在“语义能量”上的斗志就少得可怜了。【这是阳老师说的一个人阅读句子时精力的... (展开)对复杂问题的解决思路

亚历山大在寻求解决设计问题的思路时,所提出的这个方法。但是同样可以迁移到其他复杂问题的领域。 1 设计的目的是什么? 设计的目的是控制并塑造世界的一部分。虽然我们会说是改造世界,但是更准确的说法是改造世界的一部分。 2 如何判断我们塑造的是否正确? 形式的正确性取... (展开)感觉像是看了一本哲学书

I would say, this is a better work from Alexander, than whatever come after

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... 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!

您把问题分析的那么清楚您有什么企图?建筑学本来就是一个cult,就是黑帮。

只看前半部分即可:external fitness and internal fitness are signs of a good design

Intellectually satisfying to read. 对 rationalist approach 充满怀疑的我也不得不被简明清晰的逻辑论证所折服。There is, not to be denied, a beauty in rationality.
