Design and artifacts

Design is the process of inventing objects -- our "things" -- that perform specific functions (C.Alexander, 1964).

These objects, the products of human intelligence and effort, are called artifacts (H.Simon, 1969).

Artifacts evolve.

sobre ciência

The goal of science is to make the wonderful and the complex understandable and simple - but not less wonderful. (The Sciences of the Artificial, H. Simon)
