Review: Nice little reference book - Small in size, big in style. Great little book for design reference.
Review: An indispensible and accessible text on formal, spatial design ideas. - For design faculty, this is the kind of book that clearly demonstrates to foundation and core studio students the kind of conceptual manipulation they should engage in at the earliest stages of the design process. Students I have introduced the book to have, on the whole, responded well with clearer, more legible, diagrams of their formal site and building intentions. As a consequence, students were more adept at recognizing and illustrating their abstract spatial intentions, demonstrating increased critical thinking skills. Affordable and compact in size, the book should be a required text for foundation and core design studios.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice little reference book

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I am a design student, this book and its Conditional Design companion are fascinating
*by K***Y on December 19, 2018*

So, full disclosure I have had an MFA in painting and sculpture and used to teach art history...now I am getting an associates in design that includes a LOT of CAD and 3-D software classwork. I find these two books to be totally fascinating because of the systematic way they approach building vocabularies and design patterns for the parts of speech. I could easily see building these out as a library of essential design masses.....shoot, I may just do that and see what I can make them do.
