Preparation of Two Books on the Science of Design

北卡罗来纳州教堂山大学的弗雷德里克·布鲁克斯这一努力将导致两本书的出版。 第一个是“设计的设计”，将是关于复杂工件设计的论文，从各种设计学科中引出原则和概念。 与作者早期的“神话般的人月”类似的格式和风格，内容将反映设计科学的文献，PI的经验和设计决策和原理的详细日志，以及对各种工程学科的高级实践设计师的采访。这提供了一个机会来反思当前的实践，并综合来自多个领域的研究结果，并支持这样一个前提，即在广泛的领域中，设计、架构和设计过程具有基本的统一性。 第二本书是两个详细的设计研究。 这两个案例研究的详细日志也将公布，并可供设计界使用。 建筑设计问题，替代方案，决策和理性的日志提供了一个特别有用的教学设计媒介，因为考虑和决定是广泛访问。 提供注释详细的案例研究将是对设计科学文献的贡献，并预计将对所有设计学科产生广泛影响，影响实践和教育。

ABSTRACT0608665Frederick BrooksU of NC Chapel HillThis effort will lead to the production of two books. The first, the "Design of Design", will be essays on the design of complex artifacts to draw out principles and concepts from a variety of design disciplines. Similar in format and style to the author's earlier "the Mythical Man-Month", the content will reflect both the literature on design science, the PI's experience and a detailed log of design decision and rationales, as well as interviews with senior practicing designers in a variety of engineering disciplines. This provides an opportunity to reflect upon current practice and synthesize the findings from a number of domains and supports the premise that there is a fundamental unity in design, architectures and design processes across a wide range of fields. The second book is two detailed design studies. Detailed logs of the two case studies will also be published and made machine searchable for use by the design community. The logs of architecture design issues, alternatives, decision and rational provide a particularly useful design medium for teaching, since the considerations and decisions are broadly accessible. Providing annotated detailed case studies will be a contribution to the Science of Design literature and anticipated broad impact across all the designing disciplines, influencing both practice and education.
