Bar, surface, body, and space are the fundamental elements of the
design process. Every form, however complex, may be understood as a
variation of them. And underlying every concrete design is a design
methodology that can be analyzed, taught, and learned as a
transformation of these four categories.
In this sense, Transformation represents a foundational work for
architects, designers, and lay people with an interest in cultural
history: the unrivaled grammar of design. With a systematic aim and
progressively increasing complexity, it unfolds the creative
potential of these categories with succinct texts, uniform
drawings, and a broad array of examples from architecture, design,
and art.
But Transformation also occupies an exceptional position as a
physical book: the layout makes it especially easy to compare and
combine different design steps, and the separate binding of
individual groups of pages makes doing so even easier. The result
is a kind of construction set that invites the reader to play as
well as research. By generating new a oelinksa, he or she is able
to use a limited set of fundamental elements to discover an
unlimited and ever-changing array of new design possibilities.
