Summary:

"You always aim to achieve that moment of ingenuity and novelty in your design, but it sometimes remains elusive. This guide presents techniques for mapping and making hands-on, full-scale projects and relates this work to real architecture. As a result, you will learn new ways of seeing and making that will help your creative design process and enable you to experience moments of ingenuity in your design. Each of the two parts, seeing and making, is organized according to techniques, ranging from quantitative analysis and abstraction to pattern and scale to provide you with a framework for mapping exercises and hands-on exercises. Two interviews with architects give you perspective on using these exercises in practice"-- Provided by publisher.
