Description



Book Synopsis



This reference work on the core competence of architects and designers provides a thorough and considered overview of the tools and theories, means and methods and practices and possibilities of creative design. In this substantially expanded edition, a review of recent developments since the first edition has been added, the chapters on digital tools have been updated, and a new, extensive practice section describes the foundations of digital, research-based processes and social agendas in design.

The author "demonstrates compellingly that design is a synthesis of creative, technical and architectural skills coupled with academic research and reflection. Enlightening!" (Christian Thomas on the first edition). "Insight into the craft of design. Light in the darkness of how ideas take shape." (Jesko Fezer).



Review Quotes




[...] Vielmehr hat der Autor eine kultur- und architekturhistorische Enzyklopädie zu allen wesentlichen Aspekten entwurfsbezogenen Denkens und entwurfsrelevanter Parameter, Prozesse und Handlungsfelder geschrieben. Und dies in einer Umfänglichkeit, Dichte und Tiefenschärfe, die zumindest derzeit vermutlich ihresgleichen suchen dürfte. Die Stärke des Buches ist meiner Ansicht nach die vielschichtige, geisteswissenschaftliche und architekturtheoretische Verknüpfung entwurfstangierender Themen von der Meta- bis zur Mikroebene [...] Das macht das Buch für Kulturwissenschaftler, Bauhistoriker und Architekturtheoretiker außerordentlich lesenswert und spannend.

Frank Rolf Werner, HTA - History + Theory of Architecture
