| Abstract |
This book is addressed to students and practicioners of architecture and design. 'What is a designer' does more than pose (or answer) a neat question. It sets forth the conditions under which designing itself an open question, and under which design decisions - and artefacts - must show themselves to be socially answerable. Designers will find this book a spirited account of their calling, an exposition of central traditions in the modern movement. Students and teachers will find a wealth of discusion, drawn directly from the authors experience. |
