Description

By Anna Liu & Mike Tonkin

Design is a process requiring both rigour and freedom; focus and expansion. Yet how does the concept – the ‘intention’ – become a built project?

Asking, Looking, Playing, Making: A nature-focused design process acts as a storytelling toolkit, taking designers through a tried-and-tested process for taking an architectural project from thought to built project. Based around four main sections – Asking, Looking, Playing and Making – the authors show how a design process can generate beautiful buildings which are rooted in a sense of place. Further examples include a range of project types and scales to demonstrate the versatility of this toolkit.
