This textbook is aimed at helping architecture students understand the complexity of the design process, from first concepts to finished plans. Contributors call on their decades of practical experience in architecture and design to offer well-informed perspectives on everything from the ways that local contexts and materials can inform a design to the complicated interactions of the individual components of a design. A corresponding exercise section presents a clearly defined and structured methodology for the design process, one that is as useful for practice as it is for teaching. This fully updated second edition features all text in both German and English.
