Best book I've yet encountered for Architectural Design

This book is the best book I've seen for teaching fundamental Architectural design. It is both simple and sophisticated, and the exercises it contains are accessible to all students, yet have the depth to challenge the most advanced graduate students. Where Ching teaches the mechanics of design, this book teaches the thinking processes of design. The readings included in the book are especially relevant to Architectural and aesthetic education. The ideas put forth in this book have in many ways become a de-facto standard for Architectural design education. - Glad to see it's on order.

Design methodology explained

An excellent discussion of the way to teach design. Highly recommended. Needs to be resurrected from the out-of-print bin.
