The Designer's Eye

This imaginative book offers architecture students over 100 examples of visual problem-solving in architectural design.

Paired before-and-after illustrations demonstrate the sorts of real-life situations that architectural design courses rarely teach students how to address, and show how designers can manipulate form, space, and material to achieve desired effects: emphasizing or diminishing building elements, imposing visual order on a facade, or adding grace notes. 250 b/w illustrations.
