Asking, Looking, Playing, Making: A Nature-Focused Design Process

By Anna Liu and Mike Tonkin

Design is a process requiring both rigour and freedom; focus and expansion. Yet how does the concept - the 'intention' - become a built project?

This accessible book acts as a storytelling toolkit, taking designers through a tried-and-tested process for taking an architectural project from thought to built project. Based around four main sections - Asking, Looking, Playing and Making - the authors show how a design process can generate beautiful buildings which are rooted in a sense of place. Further examples include a range of project types and scales to demonstrate the versatility of this toolkit.
