Architect/designer Fumio Kajiwara and pattern language expert Takashi Iba bring to life 32 patterns crucial to creating and managing innovative projects.
ÒProject Design PatternsÓ is a unique guide for producers, project managers, entrepreneurs, and anyone involved in managing complex projects. This book is a compilation of project design knowledge based on Fumio Kajiwara (architect/designer/chairman of UDS Ltd.) and his years of experience leading various renowned spatial design projects in Asia.
His know-hows are outlined by Takashi Iba (Professor at Keio University) using the Òpattern languageÓ method, a way of organizing/sharing practical knowledge. This book is the first case in which the pattern language method, originally invented by architect Christopher Alexander, is used in the context of project design.
Through this collaboration, ÒProject Design PatternsÓ provides approachable but profound hints that help demystify the difficulty of carrying out innovative projects.
