Dear Fulden
Not restricted to industrial design, Herbert Simon's Sciences of the
Artificial considers one's personal style as an acceptable way to
proceed once the designer has abandoned the futile attempt to achieve an
optimal design. There, when one is satisficing, one may move forward in
a variety of possible and incommensurable ways, each not better or worse
than another. I suspect James March's A Premier on Decision Making
takes this forward considers the ways the designer can constitute his
identity accordingly. So styles are not just styles of things, but
styles of ontological self construction

Subject: References for Style in Industrial Design
Dear list members,
I am working on a thesis about the perception of the concept of style in
industrial design. I would be really glad if you could guide me about
references dealing specifically with style in industrial design.
Thank you all.
