Further to this older post I have been thinking about the book again, and what it may offer to its readers. I had an interesting pathway into design, one that combined the formal and spatial composition typically associated with architectural design with the crafting of words, sentences and meaning in the service of the design effort. I think the book will offer students of architecture and design an alternative pathway to that typically pursued in the profession, transposing the desire for 'design' (the verb) into the world of 'writing' (also a verb). Not one or the other; not exclusively defining the overall effort in one medium or another - rather, a combinatory pathway into a career in design.
Will I manage to pull it off? I am uncertain. Nevertheless, here goes.
