Herbert Simon: "the Science of Design"

  • Operations Research Approach
  • Design as 'Satisficing' Constraints
"..all of us who use computers in complex ways are using computers to design or to participate in the processes of design. Consequently we as designers, or as designers of design processes, have had to be explicit as never before about what is involved in creating a design and what takes place while the creation is going on."
