Event Details

Designing with Forces: How to apply Christopher Alexander in everyday work

In 1964 architect Christopher Alexander introduced a new way of thinking about design in his book Notes on the Synthesis of Form. Since then, Alexander's ideas are often cited but rarely applied or explained. Ryan will explain the core ideas behind Alexander's approach and demonstrate how 37signals applies those ideas to produce industry-leading user interfaces. Ryan will illustrate Alexander's theory with real-world examples so attendees can apply the understanding they gain to their own everyday work.
