| Abstract
|
:
|
"Providing state-of-the-art developments in the area of cornplexity and design, and collating them into a unique and authoritative resource, this book is for both the design and complex systems communities. The chapters focus on a variety of different themes and domains, including architecture, digital design, engineering, planning, art, fashion and environmental design." "The new science of complex systems is playing an increasingly important role in our society as it is providing radical new ways of understanding the physical, biological, ecological and social universe. Design itself is preoccupied with envisioning the future of such complex systems, creating innovative products and solutions, and intervening in order to produce desirable effects. The linkage between complexity and design is a cutting edge topic which is expected to gain more and more appreciation and recognition. Although both communities have an awareness of the importance of the other, there is currently no resource that draws out the important research issues that link the two in such a focused way." "A ground breaking publication marking a new era of appreciation of the import of complexity on design, this book is essential reading for those studying complexity or design."--Jacket.
