====Formulation of Design Methods====
Design Methods originally drew from a 1962 conference (called The conference on systematic and intuitive methods in engineering, industrial design, architecture and communications, London, September 1962) which was organized by John Christopher Jones, Christopher Alexander and comprised of participants from the fields of engineering, town planning, architecture and industrial design who were dissatisfied with the way their modern, industrialized world was being created.

The participants also recognized that the lone designer producing design products did not work with the complexity of post-industrial societies. Designers must work in cross-disciplinary teams where each participant brings their specific skills, language, experiences and biases to defining and solving problems. Throughout the book [http://www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-0471284963.html/ Design Methods], emphasis is on integrating creative and rational skills for a broader view of design.
