Description - The Universe of Design by Jean-Pierre Protzen
This book examines the theoretical foundations of the processes of planning and design. When people -- alone or in groups -- want to solve problems or improve their situation, they make plans. Horst Rittel studied this process of making plans and he developed theories -- including his notion of "wicked problems" -- that are used in many fields today. From product design, architecture and planning -- where Rittel's work was originally developed -- to governmental agencies, business schools and software design, Rittel's ideas are being used. This book collects previously unavailable work of Rittel's within the framework of a discussion of Rittel's theories and philosophical influences.
