Conclusion
One of the greatest difficulties in writing a book about architectural design is that it is essentially a practical, active application of ideas. Reading this book in isolation, without also being immersed in the activity of designing, would be like learning to play the piano by correspondence course and without an instrument. The interviews, illustrated examples of work and the techniques sections will allow you to ‘learn by example’ and ‘learn by doing’ as you would in the design studio. Read the book in a creative, non-linear way and plunder it for whatever information you need for your projects.
