Design Methods by J.C. Jones
Design Methods was a book authored in the 1960's by J. Christopher Jones. the book is a tour de force of rigorous methods to decide "what to make" and not just "how to make". it outlines a process including analysis and synthesis, and frankly, sound a lot like what the I.D. is teaching now... but only 40 years after this book was published.
the book is certainly dated but i am shocked to consider how far Design would have come as a discipline if designers would have actually used Jones' methods. by the latest edition here:
