Problem Solving and Critical Thinking for Designers
The essential guide to decision making and problem solving for the interior designer The interior design profession requires effective problem solving and critical thinking, as they impact all phases of the design project and most work activities of the interior designer. Whether you are a student or professional designer, much of what you do involves these skills. Although most of us do not even think about what we do in terms of these activities, they are a constant part of design. They are also skills that must be performed successfully outside a professional career. Improving these skills makes you a more sought-after employee and designer, effective business owner, and fulfilled individ...

This book presents major discourses in architectural theory and design in a debate-like format, integrating a series of edited texts across architectural history with context and newly written commentaries by the authors. This new edition has been fully revised, updated, and expanded to include long-standing debates, such as simplicity vs. complexity or the relationship between form and function, as...
Anticipation Informed Design
Design is a form of inventing the future. In some cases, under the pressure of the market, design became problem-solving. This illustrates the fact that, in inventing the future—which is the goal-design develops its own toolbox. This can be used for purposes such as engineering, marketing, social activities. But to reduce design to problem solving is to negate its creative nature. Awareness of possible futures is what drives anticipation-informed design. As opposed to problem-solving, which is usually design-by-commission, anticipation-informed design has a strong ethical dimension: Is the future designers are inventing an expression of respect for the world we live in, or yet another surrender to the pressure of shortsighted self-interest? May this eBook help others adopt anticipation-informed design as their goal. The world we live in is more than ever in need of design that is no longer just a service, but an effective means for disrupting the reality of blindly navigating the choppy waters of a storm that humanity itself created. Trading a meaningful future for a senseless present prosperity undermines sustainability.
Altman and After
In American cinema, films with multiple plots can be traced back to Grand Hotel in 1932, but the form was used only sporadically in subsequent decades. However, filmmakers of the 1970s and 80s, notably Robert Altman and Woody Allen, repeatedly employed complex narratives to weave sprawling stories in their films. Later filmmakers such as Quentin Tarantino, Paul Thomas Anderson, Wong Kar-Wai, Steven Soderbergh, and Paul Haggis embraced multiple plotlines, a device that eventually achieved mainstream respectability in such Oscar winners as Traffic and Crash. In the past two decades, more than 200 films utilizing some variation of this format have appeared worldwide. In Altman and After: Multip...
Programming the Built Environment (Routledge Revivals)
Architectural programming – the analysis of any given environment to satisfy users’ needs – has become a given prerequisite to the design process. The programming process is often a complicated one: users’ present and future needs must be identified; space allowances, often predetermined, must be considered; equipment must be accommodated; all in the most cost-effective way possible. The variety of user groups is as wide as the variety of functions architecture can shelter; moreover, the different structures and needs of clients that fall within the same use classification differs so greatly that every program presents a new challenge. You cannot, for example, use the same program for every hospital you design. In Programming the Built Environment, first published in 1985, noted architect Wolfgang F. E. Preiser has compiled a wide range of architectural programs demonstrating applications of basic principles for different client groups. This book will be of interest to students of architecture and planning.
Architectural Programming and Predesign Manager
In this book, first published in 1999, Hershberger presents architectural programming and predesign management in a clear, detailed manner. With numerous examples and illustrations from both his and his colleagues’ experience, he shows the reader step by step how to use the techniques of architectural programming, set values, resolve issues, apply tested methods, and leverage skills when working with clients. This title will be of interest to students of architecture.
