Book synopsis

How is it that one system is more effective, appealing, satisfying and/or more beautiful than another to its stakeholder community? This question drove Christopher Alexander s fifty-year quest to explain great physical architecture and give birth to pattern-languages for building that underpin much of modern systems engineering. §How is it that so many individual stakeholders consistently recognize the same quality, the same beauty in a system? This question led George Lakoff to research the role of conceptual metaphor in human understanding. §What is essential to stakeholders satisfaction with systems? Fred Brooks addressed this question in No Silver Bullet: Essence and Accidents of Software Engineering. §This monograph fuses these diverse streams of thought in proposing Thriving Systems Theory by translating Alexander s properties of physical design quality into the abstract domain of information systems and modeling.
