Summary:

The author provides a systematic account of the process of designing in architecture and urban planning. He examines multiple and often dissimilar theoretical positions - whether they prescribe forms or simply provide procedures for solving problems - as particular manifestations of an underlying structure of inquiry common to all designing. Over 100 illustrations and a number of detailed observations of designers in action support the author's thesis.
