Summary:

"Providing an overview of spatial intelligence as a human capability, this book also acknowledges how widespread recognition of it in architectural education and the profession should enable the demystification of the practice of design, forming the basis of a more democratic interface between society and practice. Ultimately, it suggests how spatial intelligence might provide exciting new opportunities for practice in the linking of real and virtual environments in the information age."--Jacket.
