Developing Your Design Process is your primary source for acquiring knowledge of how and why you design. It will help you understand how architects think as well as learn why you should educate yourself about design culture. Youll explore the spark of imagination that leads to a strong concept; realize the importance of sketching and rough drafts; focus your original concept to make your abstract idea visible; and finally step away for a moment to critically question your concept by identifying its strengths and weaknesses. Youll also be introduced to the language of design; architectural terminology; historic precedents; and designers; in addition to the why; what; and how of the design process.The book is illustrated throughout with international examples of work by professionals and students in the discipline of architecture; and other related design professions.

A very personal; enjoyable account of Tals remarkable 1960 world championshipBy CustomerThough the annotations and variations are detailed and full of chess insights; in the end it is the chatty tone and charming frankness of Mikhail Tal that sets this book apart. Yes; you can read it and learn chess; or you can just enjoy the story.Some of the games are themselves spectacular and suggest fun opening lines that are not always seen. For example; game 1 in the "solid" French features Black sacrificing his kingside pawns to a rampaging queen in return for an opposite side attack. These Qg4 lines you will at least commonly see in books on the French; but Tals ideas against the equally solid Caro (Ne2; Nf4 and sacrifice on e6) are not as well remembered and lead to some wild; wide-open play that is easily emulated by amateurs.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

A plus for Tal; A minus for Kindle editionBy Good BookThere is really nothing much to say about this book that has not been said before. This is simply one of the best books on the game along with Life and Games of Mikhail Tal. Go for it; the print edition that is. I understand it has an additional 23 games between Tal and Botvinnik (unannotated) covering the return match and subsequent encounters. This portion seems to have been omitted in the Kindle version.
