Overview

Cylinders, surfaces, bodies and spaces are the four basic elements which constitute the design process: each design, however complex, can be created by transforming them. This text gathers together the results of many years teaching and research and presents them with a wealth of examples. The layout of the book itself facilitates the comparison and combination of different steps in the design process. With the pages divided into four separate segments, the reader should be able to compare and contrast various elements in a playful, yet practical way, generating links between the four central elements and unlocking the unlimited potential of design.
