Anyone dealing with complex nultiscale systems and design should at least review the approach taken with this text.
Problems with the specifix approach are:
- overly culturally “western”
- many big decisions are made without detailed evidence
- there is an assumption of shared values that are not a given
- the book leaves open contextual problems that can emerge from bad application of these patterns
Extremely interesting text..… (altro)
