The design process of Will Alsop acts as a conduit for the
dreams and aspirations of others. Moving from public consultation
to the privacy of his painting studio here ideas are born in the
liquidity of paint, the serendipity of collage and the flourish of
line, resulting in the avant-garde and vibrant designs that Alsop
is particularly well known for.
Whether the world approves of these designs or not, does not
devalue the creative and artistic process which produces so rich,
varied, challenging and inspirational outcomes. Focusing on the
refreshing process of design with which Will Alsop engages, Tom
Porter reveals and traces the process, from public consultation to
private studio, from paint to line to model, and in doing so
uncovers a treasure trove of ideas for transforming the process of
architectural design.
Whether a working architect or a student embarking on the first
steps towards creating your own design process, this book offers an
insight and example into how engaging with the public, before
painting the way into architecture, can offer the most stimulating
solutions.
