The Design Process – Case Studies in Project Development by Ellen Shoshkes (Architecture Design and Technology Press 1980) examines nine projects from idea to reality.
Which factors contribute to successful projects – those that satisfy the needs of the client, the community, and the architect? How do creative ideas survive the process of give and take and the maze of constraints that tend to reinforce conventional design solutions? Using real-life cases of nine innovative projects by well-known architects and planners, The Design Process answers these questions by showing how a design progresses from idea to reality. projects range from individual buildings to large-scale development. In following these case studies, the reader becomes aware of the different directions the design process can take – and learns how a client or architect can actually design the process itself to result in a better project.
