“Once one understands the nature and magnitude of defuturing as the negation of world futures, how one has to account for the history and making of the material world – including design - dramatically changes. Defuturing as our condition forces the generation of a new philosophy of design.” With these thoughts this book presents a radically new understanding of the history, con...(展开全部)

Introduces the idea of defuturing, which is first employed here as a deconstructive method to expose foundational flaws in those worlds so familiar to us. It places the significance of understanding design before all concerned people while also confronting design students and professionals with a practical retooling exercise.

This book addresses the topic of software design: how to decompose complex software systems into modules (such as classes and methods) that can be implemented relatively independently. The book first introduces the fundamental problem in software design, which is managing complexity. It then discusses philosophical issues about how to approach the software design process, and i...(展开全部)
