The story

The book

How does an architect arrive at a concept? The book explores the philosophical theories behind conceptualisation in architectural design, and how they can lead to new, innovative ideas.

Inside

Its chapters move from design as a way of thinking, through conceptualisation, form, function and order, to design development and space crafting.

Still relevant

More than a decade on, the lab has revisited the book and argues that its principles remain relevant to today's architectural challenges.
