Focusing on the refreshing process of design with which Will Alsop engages, Tom Porter reveals and traces the process, from public consultation to the privacy of Alsop's painting studio, from paint to line to model, and in doing so uncovers a treasure trove of ideas for transforming the process of architectural design.
