Summary:
On the importance of methodology in teaching architectural design. Can design processes constitute genuine forms of research? ''Against (and for) method'' highlights exemplary cases of how studio architects teach architectural design, address pedagogical deficiencies, and propose new possibilities for integrating methodological approaches into teaching and practice. Contributions by leading scholars in the field, including interviews from five practicing architects, reveal how design concepts are considered, teased apart, and passed down. This book urges instructors to reflect on their methods and consider to what extent systematic and conceptually coherent approaches aid their students.

Summary:
Surveying works in all media, Josef Albers: Minimum Media, Maximum Effect offers a new comprehensive monograph of Josef Albers (1888-1976) focusing on the artist's abiding concern for clarity and simplicity. As the title suggests, Albers strove to attain the maximum effect with minimal media. This selection of works demonstrates the continuity of Albers' austere and luminous vision, as it permeated his teaching, furniture and design objects, photography, typographical design and his writings, from his early years as a schoolteacher in Germany and the Bauhaus years to the end of his artistic and teaching career at Yale.
