Description
This introductory presentation describes and analyses the theories, strategies and tools of creative design for the purposes of practical work. With thoughtfulness and expertise, it opens the readers eyes to the processes that underlie design and demonstrates different ways of communicating about complex design work.
The first section focuses on the much-discussed relationship between design and research, between architecture and the sciences. The second section describes basic design approaches, from Vitruvius and Alberti through Erwin Panofsky and Wolfgang Kemp to Otl Aicher and Vilm Flusser. The third and largest section presents the elementary tools of design, from gestures and words through drawings, models, and simulations to critique, all as instruments of creative design in architecture and its related fields.
