Contents:

I. Setting the stage -- Introduction -- Sorting through ideas -- Order first -- II. The first project set -- Design & drawing fundamentals -- II. The second project set -- Building on proportion -- Conventions in design -- III. The third project set -- Starting in three dimensions -- Models & diagrams -- IV. Precedents -- Precedent diagrams in two dimensions -- Precedent diagrams in three dimensions.

Summary: With accessible, step-by-step procedures that interweave diagrams, drawings and virtual models, the authors demonstrate how to compose clear and revealing diagrams. Design thinking defines a method for engaging the world through observation and analysis. Beyond problem solving, design is a search for possibilities. Mastering design thinking begins with learning the fundamentals of visual composition. It embraces the ability to synthesize deductive and imaginative reasoning, combining both shrewd scrutiny and fevered speculation. Design diagrams make visible the abstractions that order the built environment.
